| What Is It? So exactly what is organic lawn fertilizer and how is it different/better then the synthetic fertilizers I have been using for years? Organic fertilizer is derived from all natural sources. Common sources are compost, corn gluten meal, worm castings, peat, manure and their byproducts (i.e. potassium, phosphorus, and nitrogen).  Organic lawn fertilizer help your soil in various ways. Organic fertilizer provides your soil with organic matter, which is used to feed the microorganisms and beneficial insects that live in your soil. It is good to feed these creatures because their decomposition of the organic matter is what produces the food for your lawn and garden. As mentioned in the 'When to use' section, most soil is made up of 85-90% mineral residue and 10% organic matter. Healthy soils who promote healthy crops see a higher number of organic matter. The more organic matter in your soil, the better the overall health of your soil will be, which typically promotes healthy plants. Organic lawn fertilizer allows your soil to retain a larger amount of moisture, which reduces the stress felt during a time of drought. Synthetic fertilizers contain salt, which can dry out your soil and plant, and promote undue hardship on your plant during times of drought. Organic fertilizer also releases nutrients at a slow, more consistent rate, which allows your plants to sustain long term health, as opposed to synthetic fertilizers which will have a sharp increase in health of your plants, followed by a quick demise. By their nature, organic lawn fertilizer increase physical and biological nutrient storage in soils, which prevents over-fertilization. A University of North Carolina study found that nitrogen levels were 182-285% higher in soils treated with organic fertilizer. Nitrogen is a great fuel to a healthy garden and one that will remain healthy for years to come. Ringer® Lawn Restore® has a specially designed formula which includes nitrogen, along with phosphorus and potassium, two other elements which provide your lawn and garden sustained health.
