natural fertilizer
Soil's organic boost
Natural fertilizer is any substance used to enrich soil that derives from plant, animal, or mineral sources rather than synthetic chemical processes.
Compost, manure, bone meal, and seaweed are common examples.
The term often carries connotations of environmental responsibility or organic farming practices: We use only natural fertilizers in our garden.
