How to Buy Organic Liquid Fertilizers

Going green is not just the choice of a few environmentally concerned activists. Now, green living and farming have become necessary choices for many due to alarming environmental changes. Farmers and gardeners want to reduce their carbon footprint while promoting sustainability and health. Organic farming/gardening works with natural processes to produce healthful foods without damaging the environment. Buy organic liquid fertilizers and save the environment from harmful chemicals.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Discover what your current fertilizer is made of. If it's not certified organic, you're likely using petroleum-based products that have long-term harmful effects on soil and water as well as on animals and humans. Buy organic liquid fertilizers that meet USDA National Organic Standards.

2. Understand that spreading raw manure is not a good way to organically fertilize due to possible contamination from harmful bacteria in it. Buy organic liquid fertilizer that has been processed and is made from organic compost and other ingredients.

3. Look for green websites to buy organic liquid fertilizers online. Find out about organic fertilizer companies from reliable sources, such as the Organic Review Materials Institute (OMRI). Learn whether or not an organic liquid fertilizer company has been reviewed and meets National Organic Standards. Order the OMRI product list to locate products and buy organic liquid fertilizers (see Resources below).

4. Shop at online organic liquid fertilizer companies or buy organic liquid fertilizers from local nurseries and plant or farm supply stores.
