Bio Fertilizer in Gardens
Organic Gardening - Gardening is one favorites things people like to do during the favorite free time in the Spring and Summer. You could have a large garden at home that has many beautiful types of flowers
How to start a garden:
Find a good spot for your garden that has good light and good soil.
If the soil is not suitable for gardening, you can improve it by adding materials such as:
sand (to improve drainage)
organic matter:
peat moss (for improving fertility & the soil's pH)
manure (for fertilizing & loosening soil)
Fertilizer (organic or chemical) - Select the plants or seeds that you would like in your garden. Make sure you consider the hardiness of the plant for the climate you live in. Also consider how much light the plants need.
Read instructions on the seeds packets, or consult reference books for proper planting times, spacing, and care.
After planting, mulch your garden to conserve moisture. Water your plants as needed.

Fundamentals of Organic Gardening and Farming:
- No pesticides and insecticides - synthetic pesticides pollute the environment, kill beneficial organisms and don't control pests effectively on a long term basis.
- Nutrients recycle - Conserve / recycle - resources by composting vegetable scraps and using animal manure for fertilizer. Increase the organic matter in the soil with compost and 100% organic fertilizers. Let the fertile soil feed the plants.
- Use organic fertilizers - synthetic fertilizers feed the plants in a forced, unbalanced way. Have your soil tested for nutrients and Ph level by a lab that gives organic recommendations, to learn the total and available levels of organic matter and minerals. Use rock powders to increase trace minerals: best materials are from volcanic activity such as granite, lava sand and zeolite. Greensand, colloidal phosphate and glacial rock powder are also effective.
Organic Guidelines: Use 100% organic fertilizer to turf and planting beds in early spring at 20 lbs/1000 sq. ft. Repeat every 60 to 90 days during the growing season if greater response is needed (Three applications per year is normal.) Apply rock powders annually at about 40-80 lbs/1,000 sq. ft. Add fish meal or kelp meal at 10-20 lbs/1,000 sq. ft. to annuals and perennials in the spring and every 60-90 days if needed during the growing season. Add a small handful of soft rock phosphate to each hole when planting bulbs or small transplants.
- Mulch - to conserve moisture and keep down unwanted vegetation. Mulch preserves moisture, eliminates weeds and keeps the soil surface cooler, which benefits earthworms, micro-organisms and plant roots.
Application: Cover bare soil around plants with natural mulch such as shredded tree trimmings, shredded hardwood bark and leaves, pine needles, etc. For shrubs, trees and ground covers, use at least 1 of compost and 3 of shredded native tree trimmings or shredded hardwood bark.
Mulch vegetable gardens with 8 of partially completed compost or alfalfa hay.
Encourage life and biodiversity - with companion planting, re-introduce beneficial insects, and protect benefical insects that exist, such as ladybugs, earthworms, green lacewings, and trichogramma wasps.
Water - in the early morning hours, and adjust schedule seasonally to allow for deep, infrequent waterings in order to maintain an even moisture level and encourage deeper roots.
Guidelines: Monitor using a water gauge and including natural rainfall, about 1 of water per week in the summer is a good starting point. For foliar feeding, use a siphon attachment to apply a light application of seaweed or compost tea when possible.
Weeding - hand-pull large weeds, weekly shallow cultivation of soil to expose sprouting weed roots to the air, mulching of all bare soil, and work on soil health improvement for overall weed control. Apply corn gluten meal in the Spring and Fall to control annual weeds such as grass burrs.
Basis of Ecological Gardening, Farming and Organic Foods -
The New Millenium Ecological Organic Fertilizer
Biological and organic fertilizers doesn't have, for instance: biologic nitrogen fixation, phosphorus decomposition, potassium decomposition, bio-control, biotic activation, and energy transforming.
It can replace other fertilizers. The products are environment friendly ecological fertilizer researched for the sustainable development of 21st century ecological agriculture and is the most ideal fertilizer for producing organic food (green foods).
Most plants with the fertilizer applied don't need any other chemical fertilizer.
Broad spectrum Bio Fertilizer. With many technologies adopted, the product can be applied in different areas, different soils and different crops.
The fertilizer represents the development direction of the transfer from inorganic to organic agriculture, and is the basis of ecological farming and the guarantee of organic foods.
The agricultural project (product) has remarkable economic, ecological and social benefits. All people are the beneficiaries of the product, whether they are investors of producing or the users of applying the fertilizer or the consumers of the foods with the fertilizer applied. First, making the fertilizer consumes a great deal of industrial wastes, turning garbage into fertilizer and bringing investors good returns. Second the fertilizer user can restrain the pollution of chemical fertilizer and pesticides effectively, protect the underground water resource, improve soil and make soil richer, and produce qualified organic foods (green foods) for serving humans directly.
Thanks to powerful modern biotechnology, the product has less nourishment contents but higher fertilizer effects.
Although the fertilizer itself doesn't contain many nourishment elements, but it has many bioactive catalyzing enzyme - which can provide the plants with primary elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, many medium-content and trace elements such as
silicon, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, copper, zinc, manganese, molybdenum and boron, as well as many indispensable bioactive substances such as biotin, vitamin, growth hormone, antibiotics and amino acid. It has much more nourishment than common fertilizer has.
