Organic Fertilizer Is The Only Way To Go!

By Tina Hull

Nature didn't give us chemicals to nurture our lawns and gardens. Nature gave us some excellent stuff to keep our vegetation healthy and organic fertilizer has forever outdone itself. Fish emulsion, in particular, has been used by our ancestors for centuries. Someone somewhere had some bright idea that chemicals were the ticket to green lawns and red tomatoes, but they obviously didn't think the idea through to the finish. Well, this is the finish and organic fertilizer a brighter idea.

The best fish by-product to use for an organic fertilizer comes from the Menhaden fish. Menhaden meaning "that which manures". Such a great name since manure is an excellent fertilizer too. The Menhaden fish is an organic and renewable source, serving North America for centuries as an extraordinary organic fertilizer. For centuries our ancestors used the Menhaden fish to make crops grow incredible yields?way before synthetic fertilizer was a twinkle in anyone's eye.

An advantage to using fish emulsion as your primary organic fertilizer is that it produces results immediately. Many other organic fertilizers, though good for your vegetation, are slow acting. The wonderful nutrients they possess can't be accessed by your plants roots until they have decomposed. Instant gratification is something we can all appreciate on some level. Since it degrades so quickly, your plants will get what they need NOW! Since it does degrade fast, you want to make sure it's stored at room temperature so it doesn't start working its magic before it's in the soil.

Fish emulsion is a great organic fertilizer for seedlings. Since fish emulsion acts so promptly, it makes a great fertilizer for transplants too. Transplants particularly need some extra attention so as not to risk any harm from the shock of transplanting.

Chemical fertilizers risk burning your lawn and plants. Organic fertilizer doesn't pose these same risks. You won't have ugly brown spots on your lawn or plants dropping dead from toxic chemicals.

Fish emulsion does have a strong offensive odor, so when handling you might consider rubber gloves and clothes fit for fish smell in case of any splashes. The stench does dissipate with a little time so don't worry, you won't have a fishy lawn and garden for any longer than what's tolerable.

The Menhaden fish is the best fish to use for organic fertilizer. They're too bony to eat, but they feed on mineral rich plankton making them a treat for the lawn and garden, super rich in nutrients.

This renewable source, fish emulsion, has proven itself to be awesome organic fertilizer, especially the little Menhaden from the Atlantic and Caribbean. Lawns and gardens all over benefit greatly from this organic fertilizer, especially seedlings and transplants. Once you get over the smell, you can reap the rewards. You won't risk burning any vegetation and your garden and lawn will thrive like never before. If you're after instant gratification, fish emulsion is the organic fertilizer for you. - 30422

Take Back Your Life With Organic Gardening

By Tina Hull

By growing your own organic food, you ensure that you and your family are eating the best food possible. Organic gardening makes this doable. A great fertilizer for organic gardening is fish emulsion. Your garden plants will be laden with beautiful, nutritious fruits and veggies, more than any synthetic fertilizer could ever deliver.

Gardeners around the world have used fish emulsion in their gardens for centuries. It nourishes them like no other, making a huge contribution to the success of organic gardening. The results aren't limited to veggies either. Flower beds thrive, producing tons of fragrant, colorful blooms that attract handsome birds and stunning butterflies.

Organic gardening can mean so much more than just a natural way to put food on the table. Organic gardens are an example to others, teaching how to grow your own food without harming the environment, and inevitably the mass produced, chemical laden crops will have less business, maybe even making farms that are using synthetic fertilizers rethink how they do things. Maybe they'll see that fish emulsion beats out toxins when it comes to growing produce and grains.

If everyone relied on organic gardening as their prime source for food, the world would change dramatically. Our refrigerators would be chemical free and full of nutrition. Changing the way we think will lead us to changing what we buy and what we eat. Thinking before we shop saves tons of waste, and thinking even farther enough ahead will have us growing our own veggies and shopping less altogether, and that bottom line means less waste.

All walks of life are changing their eating habits these days. Unfortunately for the consumer, buying organic can be pretty expensive. It's great for the organic farmer, but too many people simply can't afford to eat healthy, and they suffer in the long run. That's why organic gardening can make a tremendous difference in the overall health of people in general. Since eating organic has made a comeback, more participants benefitting from a healthy diet will make this a health food revolution instead of just a trend.

Green is the way to go. Somehow we became disillusioned that the use of chemicals in our gardens was a good thing, when in fact we were destroying the foundation of our gardens. How much more pain will be inflicted before society realizes what's going on? Organic gardening is playing a huge part in repairing what has been done to the environment.

The only way we can truly know what we're putting into our bodies is to eat what we grow ourselves, and organic gardening will ensure that we are getting the highest quality food possible. Stereotypes attached to organic gardening need to be put aside and the true dilemma at hand addressed. It's time to stop messing up and start picking up the pieces, making our world the beautiful planet it was meant to be. Fish emulsion is serving a grand purpose in fertilizing our organic gardens, and let's not forget the other methods that play an important part in keeping our gardens natural. Go green. - 30422

Organic Dog Food

By Frank Williams

The desire for healthy food seems to apply equally to people and their pets, since many pet owners prefer to buy organic products to feed man's best friend. One could be forgiven for being surprised at the large variety of organic dog food on offer in the market. Just like for humans, there are a lot of pet illnesses that one could cure or even prevent in the first place by the use of organic pet food.

For instance, organic dog food could reduce the risk of the dog developing skin diseases and allergies. The explanation for the positive health effects is the absence of additives, chemicals, colourants and pesticides. Instead there are just grain extracts and high quality proteins for ingredients of organic dog food. Organic dog food also contains more nourishment, which is reflected in the higher levels of energy and the normal weight of the pet.

Healthy, organic dog food contains more nutrients, which is reflected in the greater levels of energy and the normal weight of the pet. Furthermore, regular dog food can cause diabetes and excess weight with all the concomitant problems that accompany these illnesses: back ailment, organ failure and decreased mobility. How can organic dog food help here, then? Well, simply because organic pet food does not contain bulk filler; they are nutrient-packed products that create energy not fat. Moreover, it is best and definitely a lot easier to prevent health issues than try to treat them afterwards.

A more efficient digestion and a stronger immunity system are the other main benefits that accompany the use of organic pet food. Due to the absence of chemicals usually present in ordinary pet food, your dog will no longer vomit or experience gas or diarrhea. A more efficient is what will result from a healthy diet. Moreover, the quality of the nutritional substances in organic dog food, enhances the immunity functions, thereby reducing the risks of infection and all sorts of specific diseases that affect dogs on an everyday basis.

A high number of veterinarians claim that organic dog food substantially extends the life of any animal, to say nothing of the fact that it will go through old age a lot better. It is quite common that pet owners who choose organic dog food, are also interested in eating organic foods themselves, sticking with healthy organic food that boost bodily functions and avoid toxins and disease.

Ask your dog food provider about organic dog food and if there is none available at your local shop, try to order it online. There are many web pages that sell such foods at fairly fair prices.

One last tip, be very, very wary of dried dog food like biscuits, no matter what it says on the packet. A few years ago, I had a dog called Becky that remained at home alone during the day, while I went to the office. I didn't like to leave her tinned food, because of flies, bacteria and vermin, so I bought dry food, which would not go off during the day. However, within six years she had contracted diabetes, which meant that I had to inject her with insulin every morning. Sometimes, she would have a fit. The veterinary said that it was quite common for dogs fed only on dry biscuits to contract diabetes, so check the food with your vet first or feed organic wet food. - 30422
