I would never advise buying vermicompist. If you're interested in it, you can set up your own worm bin for a few dollars. Then add your own kitchen scraps and get the compost for free.

Great info. I have used Urea as a nitrogen source but care must be exercised because it can burn plants. So a very small amount can yield big results making it even more cost effective. Making your own compost is really the only way to go. It costs almost nothing to make although the process of creating compost may be considered “time intensive” but it’s the most cost effective way to add organic material intoa garden. I have a rather small vegetable garden (under 1,000 sq feet) and making compost for my garden is a pretty simple task and cheap. And yes I have dabbled with fish emulsion and kelp and other organic but I found that just adding natural compost has made a better garden with better production and produce and no $10 buck tomatoes 😉Excellent info.

Organic fertilizer is for organic farming and growing organic food

[@WhatWeDoChannel]

Brilliant! It actually makes me angry when I think about all the disinformation out there! My plan is to add homemade compost to my vegetable beds every fall to build the soil, put down one application of balanced pre plant fertilizer and then supplement with diluted urea over the growing season. I bought myself a 25KG bag of Magic Carpet urea, the guy in the store tried to tell me I was buying the wrong thing, he said the urea is just for melting snow.

There is one huge difference. Synthetic’s are made with salts that kill the microbes in your soil. Those salt will get into the soil and our waters.

Depends on what's available in the country or geographical area. For me in the US Midwest, the best I can do is $3 per pound of nitrogen. There is a co-op network on the west coast that sells it for less, but shipping costs negate the savings so the only viable option is pick up.

jadam organic farming, fermented plant juice, fermented fruit juice, microbial solution, lactobacillus serum, Egg Calphos, cow manure, PSB bacteria. Very cheap. More natural farming.

[@sonnyamoran7383]

I believe he's saying that the nitrogen is that cost per kg.

[@trelosyiaellinika]

I make and use my own compost out of several tons of vegetables, fruits, greens, dead plants, grass, twigs, cartons, wood dust wirh chicken droppings, all the remnants after slaughtering my chicken etc, I also use small amounts of aged sheep manure, ash and small amounts of ammonium nitrate... and my garden is flourishing...in late autumn I dig in all rhe leaves and cover the ground with cartons and let it rot under rain and snow...

[@michelbisson6645]

so does it mean better to grow microbes to produce nitrogen??

[@chrisrees7054]

No wonder it is so expensive.

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thank you Mr. P. I always enjoy your opinion. 🌷💚🙃

[@BNOBLE.]

THank you very much!!!! Well done sir.

[@michaelboom7704]

Over the years I have purchased very little fertilizer, tried making my own along with good compost.

[@racebiketuner]

Thanks for another great vid.

[@ryangooseling]

I'd love some advice on using the litter from my chicken coop. I use the deep litter method and add prilled lime and rid x a couple of times during the winter.

[@TutorMystic]

I've been using KNO3.

[@tobruz]

Excellent Again!

[@sistergoldenhair2231]
