organic fertilizer
Carbon-based soil enrichment
Organic fertilizer is nutrient material derived from plant or animal sources rather than synthetic chemicals: compost, manure, bone meal, fish emulsion.
It releases nutrients slowly as it breaks down, improving soil structure over time.
Gardeners and farmers choose organic fertilizers to avoid synthetic additives or to build long-term soil health: She switched to organic fertilizer for her vegetable garden.
