Organic Fertilizers are definitely the best type you can give your plants and soil, basically because they are all-natural and of course cheap. But there are some downsides when using them. Among are:
1. They can also serve as home to some pests. Decomposing plant clippings or animal manure can allow some organisms to breathe life. The trick is to keep these decomposing natural fertilizers from the plant at a safe distance. This way, even if some organisms would start to live within them, they wouldn't directly affect the plants and their growth.
2. They take a little while to be actually useful. Of course, animal manure and plant clippings need to decompose first so they can serve nutritious values to the soil and the plants living within the area. But once they have, you can rest assured that 100 percent of these nutrition are being shared to your soil and plants.
3. They smell. Because animal manure and plant clippings need to decompose first, they will really give off disgusting smell. But then, this is a greener means of fertilizing your soil and plants. Plus, it will only take for a while than the long-term damage that other synthetic fertilizers can do to your and your community.
Live green, use organic fertilizers!
