How are Plan “B” ORGANICS^® Fertilizers Different from Conventional Fertilizers?

High N-P-K synthetic soluble fertilizers are typically designed to feed plants directly. Although this method provides desirable plant growth, these salt based fertilizers may by-pass the living organisms in the soil, and can be toxic to them. Under certain conditions, up to 70% of some soluble synthetic fertilizers can be leached from the root zone or evaporate from the soil surface rendering them ineffective. Plan "B" ORGANICS^® fertilizers and soil amendments do not leach from the root zone, with close to 100% becoming slowly available to the plants. Our organic fertilizers feed the soil and the organisms living in it. These soil organisms process, cycle and re-cycle nutrients creating a natural "slow release" which helps to build essential soil organic matter and improve the soil food web.
