Specifications: Organic fertilizers nourish and improve the soil. As opposed to synthetic fertilizers, they help the soil because they do not create high levels of salts and nitrates in the soil, which kill or repel beneficial soil organisms. By composition, organic fertilizers such as bio-one release nutrients slowly and naturally according to natures blueprint. All components in an organic fertilizer are usable by the soil and plant because there are no useless fillers as there are in chemical fertilizers. Organic fertilizers add organic matter to the soil while chemical fertilizers do not. In fact, chemical fertilizers do not do anything good for the soil. The nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium analysis (npk), which is required to be printed on bags of fertilizer by law, is basically irrelevant in an organic program. Feeding the soil and plants with nothing but npk is like feeding your child nothing but cheese. Soil, like people, needs a balance of nutrients. For some reason, fertilizer recommendations continue to emphasize these three nutrients, with special emphasis on high levels of nitrogen. These recommendations are based on forced crop production instead of on soil needs.
