Chemical fertilizers are made from chemically processed or refined materials. They
encourage plants to suck nutrients out of the soil, leaving it infertile. Many contain harsh
substances like sulfuric and hydrochloric acid, which can leach into groundwater and pollute the environment. Organic fertilizers are made from natural materials. Unlike chemical products, they encourage the soil’s growth of micro-organisms, which break down old plant material and convert nutrients into food. Over time, your soil becomes healthier and more fertile. Your plants grow hardy and robust, year after year. |
