Where to Find a Pet Safe Fertilizer I have start this article due to my dog, which favorite habit is to eat grass and dirt as amedicie. Recently, there has been an increase in demand for both organic fertilizer and for pet safe fertilizer. Many farmers on smaller farms have dogs who freely roam around the farmhouse and the fields. This is not safe, however, as some fields are coated with thick layers of inorganic fertilizer that can make dogs ill if they eat it. What is essential for a pet safe fertilizer? A pet safe fertilizer should contain all organic elements that are food-grade (i.e.., can be ingested, even if they aren't a viable form of sustenance) and they must not contain (danger) high levels of chlorine or salt. A pet safe fertilizer that is currently on the market is NPK Blend 3-18, which is composed of all organic elements, including seaweed and humic acids, which is used to make the seaweed break up faster. In addition to being pet safe, the manufacturer claims that this fertilizer helps prevent plant stress, disease, and parasitic attacks. You can purchase it in three pound packs for as little as $11 or negotiate larger wholesale contracts over the phone. These types of fertilizer are somewhat more expensive; and are generally used in smaller scale operations or for personal vegetable gardens. If your application is for a small scale garden, you may want to create your own pet safe fertilizer. You can do this in a number of different ways. One way is to create your own compost bin – and then fill it with plant and animal wastes. As bacteria act on it, it will break down and create a fertilizer that is pet safe. One other method you can use is to collect your own seaweed from pollution-free beaches. You can then watch it off, wrap it around plants; and let it bake in the sun, decompose, and create nutrient-rich, animal safe fertilizer. Free Links Text Link Ads |
