Types of fertilizers Not all fertilizers are created equal. Lawn and garden fertilizers can be classified into three types or groups: synthetic, organic and organic based bridge products. Synthetic fertilizers are man made products. Unless formulated for slow release these fertilizers are highly water soluble. Nutrients from these fertilizers are available for quick absorption by the plants but most plants cannot absorb the nutrients at the rate of release. The extra nutrients are then washed into our streams, lakes and oceans via rain and irrigation. Synthetic fertilizers have been proven to deplete organic matter in the soil leaving no food for the micro organisms to feed on, thus your soil becomes lifeless and your plants and turf become dependent on those fertilizers for survival. By using organic based bridge fertilizers and organic fertilizers, organic matter is returned to the soil thus feeding the micro flora population in the soil. This creates a natural balanced soil environment upon which plants and grasses can thrive in a balanced soil food web. Also giving you the peace of mind knowing that your family and pets can enjoy your landscape the way you should, the way it ought to be. Bridge and Organic type fertilizers The types of fertilizers we use at Earth Balance are OMRI listed Bridge and organic fertilizers. The difference between the two are the inclusion of urea in the bridge product. This limited source of nitrogen is immediately released into the soil profile and is immediately available for absorption by the plants roots. After that the organic components are slowly released and feeds not only the plant but the soil micro organisms as well by supplying valuable organic matter to the soil. These organic fertilizers are slow release and provides excellent residual color and density with even growth. These fertilizers begin to release within 7 days of application and will provide a constant supply of nitrogen for approximately 7 weeks. By feeding your soil, the plants ability to withstand drought, fend off diseases and insects are increased by a deeper root system and stronger immune system. You gain peace of mind knowing that there is no need to worry about staying off your lawn after application as you would with synthetic fertilizers. A low salt index means no burning of your lawn or your skin. These organic fertilizers give you the peace of mind your family demands to fully enjoy your lawn and landscape.
