Organic Fertilizers - My Top 5 Choices For 2021!

Organic vs Synthetic Chemical Fertilizers. For me, there's no question that Organic, slow-release, complete fertilizing solutions is the best way to feed our gardens. In fact, we should be feeding our soil to feed our plants. A successful garden all starts with a healthy, balanced, bioactive soil.

In this video, I want to show you the benefits of Organic Fertilizers, how to use them, how much to use, and of course my top 5 choices for this year. Enjoy, like, and share if you are Organic Gardening this year too!

2021 is the Year of the Garden! We deserve it after the last little while, and growing our own food and self sufficiency is just the reward we need to get back on track!

Thank you, like one of the other viewers you just answered a question on how often I should apply these amendments to my veggie pots. Thank goodness as I was about to add some more alfalfa to them. My fall plants are doing great having made my own potting mix following your method.

Sorry I missed the premiere today we had a power outage so we went to visit the farm where I am getting 2 dump truck loads of beautiful well aged manure this week. Soooo happy I will be able to plant out things next weekend in at least one of my gardens.

[nomathembazwedala]

You always give great information. Thanks for educating us.

Night my friend! I like to just throw all the organic food scraps like banana peels, orange peels and, egg shells and many more things I just throw in a bin with worms and then just close the lid and voila! Compost is ready! And I have a funny thing to tell ya if you're interested...
Oh and sea weeds are the best!

[maryalobo]

Thanks for the nice videos. Although we dont have all those organic components in my country (Uganda, with Love), I use Sunflower seed cake, Bone meal, Cotton seed cake meal. I am hopeful it is all good.

Really like your videos. . . Simple to the point education. THANK YOU

Great tips as always, Jeff. 👍 
I've been making my own compost & mulch for a few years now, and I've been meaning to incorporate seaweed into my garden for those trace elements...to see what difference it might make. I'm only 15 minutes from Birch Bay, WA, where my wife & I like to kayak. I always seem to forget to bring a bucket or bag to collect seaweed though. The last time we went I thought about just piling some seaweed into my kayak...then I thought no, I don't want that smelly mess in my boat...should I pile it into her boat instead? That would be a bad plan. Maybe I'll just make a special trip to collect some seaweed. 🤣

Keep up the good work!!! So much valuable information for all. 😁I have plenty of chickens to make some compost tea for my plants this year. 🐔

[BlondeRedheadislove]

Thank you for this great video! I also try to avoid animal byproducts in my garden and life. Just found your channel yesterday and watched/learned so much already.

[SpiceyKy]

I'll keep all of this in mind. Can be a little overwhelming sometimes.

[OakKnobFarm]

Oh, missed your premiere today. But I have a good excuse: I was potting up my veg :)

[jeffclarke]

Great info. Thanks much for your efforts!

[simonedreyer]

Love your videos. I’m learning so much from you. Thank you.
Can one use kelp meal as a substitute for seaweed?

[articmars]

I have seen people use comfrey. Its a deep rooted plant that that they say pulls minerals from deep in the soil, and they say it works as well as seaweed. Have you tried that one? And if so did it work as well as the seaweed?

[aquaseahorselove]

Thanks! Lots of great info. I’m saving it to my list so I can refer back to it.
I’m glad you feel the same about not wanting to use cow poo on your vegetables. I was wondering if I was weird or something because everyone loves cow dung but me. Haha

I’m using organic mushroom compost this year. I never hear anyone talk about using this for veggies. I hope they turn out okay.

[kittiew]

Perfect timing for this. Learning organic fertilizer and soils now. Just got 6 yards certified organic soil down in 4 new raised beds. Question when should I add more to this new soil?

[janinebean]

A few questions: Do you recommend a regular fertilizing schedule or just fertilizing based on issues that you see? What do you think of general organic fertilizers like the miracle gro organic fertilizer pellets? I’ve heard good things about Espoma general fertilizers (bio-tone, etc) but they aren’t available in Canada :( and what do you recommend for flowers?
