Organic versus Inorganic

Why Organic?

Organic fertilizers are different from conventional fertilizers, in that, they feed your lawn while building up the soil's structure. When you have soil with lots of organic material it will hold moisture and nutrients better thus promoting healthier root development.

Conventional fertilizers work fast, which is a good thing if that is what you are looking for. However, the nutrients in conventional fertilizers are released too quickly, thus not allowing the root system to catch up to the top growth. Also conventional fertilizers are usually over applied and, in turn, "burn" the root system leading to a weaker plant structure. 

An advantage to organic fertilizers is that they are comprised of plant and animal sources that are readily found in nature. These nutrients are then broken down my soil microbes so that they can be released into the root system. Instead of fast excessive growth you will see long-term nutrition and steady growth in your lawn or garden. 

When you use conventional fertilizers on your lawn or garden it will not improve the structure of the soil. Although you will see an immediate improvement in your lawn or garden when using conventional fertilizers they will eventually kill off most of the soil organisms and organic matter that is naturally in soil. 

When using Envirogreen of Florida's organic fertilizer and following our recommended spray program you will, over time, see a dramatic improvement in your lawn and/or garden. Our products help build a healthy soil by replenishing the soil with organic materials and carbohydrates.

Think of your lawn or garden as a person. When it is hungry it needs to be fed. When using conventional fertilizers it often has too much "food" to digest. The excess "food" will be washed away when you water your lawn. Many times this excess "food" will be washed into local water sources such as canals, groundwater, or reclaimed water. When using organic fertilizer, such as Envirogreen of Florida's Complete, it will help reduce nutrient runoff and allow your plants to retain more of the water they need.
