Single ingredient Fertilizers

Single Ingredient Fertilizers

• Bat guano is just that - bat manure.  Traditionally used as a fertilizer source by farmers and gardeners for many years.
• Bat guano is still one of the most potent natural fertilizers available today.
• An excellent general purpose fertilizer for use on plants requiring large amounts of readily available nitrogen.
• Recommended for use on everything from annual vegetables and flowers, to perennial shrubs and trees.
• Bat guano is an excellent fertilizer for container plants, and can be diluted into a very effective "tea", or fertilizer solution. 

• A superior source of fast-acting nitrogen that has been shown to outperform most other sources of nitrogen.
• Recommended as a nitrogen source for all plantings.  It is also effective as a compost activator and as an animal repellent.  (Deer, squirrels, dogs, and cats.)
• Recommended for use on all crops once a year.  For nitrogen-hungry crops such as citrus, corn, and turf grasses, we advise an additional application in mid-season. 

• Used by farmers and gardeners for centuries as a long-lasting source of phosphorous.
• Widely used as a bulb food and transplanting fertilizer because of its gentle feeding characteristics.
• It is best used at planting time or as a side dress during the growing season.
• Raw bone meal is a slower release fertilizer and is best used for fall planting.
• Steamed bone meal releases quicker and is best used in the spring or where faster results are desired. 

• A slow release, long-lasting fertilizer that contains all primary plant nutrients.
• An excellent general purpose fertilizer, it is recommended for use on ornamentals, lawns, and perennial gardens.  It is very effective on acid-loving plants.
• Use only once a year at planting time for both new and established plants. 

• Derived from a naturally occurring limestone deposit, it is an ideal amendment to use for adjusting acidic soils.
• Provides a rich source of natural magnesium and calcium, important plant nutrients.
• In acidic soil conditions, it is recommended to use dolomite lime once a year when preparing the planting beds or for top dressing an existing growing area to adjust the pH for the growing season. 

• A slow release source of nitrogen and phosphorous, derived from fish meal.
• Recommended for use when establishing planting beds.  Be sure to incorporate thoroughly into soil well ahead of planting because of its potentially strong odor. 

• Mined from an ancient marine deposit in New Jersey, greensand is a long lasting source of potassium.
• A slow release form of potassium.
• Most effective when blended into the soil during bed preparation. 

• A mined product, gypsum contains 20% calcium and 16% sulfur.
• Recommended for clay soils that compact and do not drain water.  Gypsum loosens the soil allowing penetration of air and water, making the soil friable.
• Gypsum is essentially neutral and will not impact soil pH. 

• A valuable source of potash.
• Harvested from cold-water beds off Nova Scotia, kelp meal is recommended as a beneficial supplement to all gardening applications.
• Use as a fertilizer supplement when preparing the planting area.  Use as little as once a year for best results. 

• Provides plants with a very long-lasting source of phosphorous.
• Best used when preparing new garden beds.  Also suggested as a phosphorous supplement in compost piles.
