Benefits of Using Compost

• Using compost is not only a better and sustainable alternative to the chemical-based fertilizing aids but also in building good soil structure and texture for your plants to grow in.
  
  
• It enables the soil to retain nutrients, water, and other microelements.
  
  
• Helps to maintain soil pH, having an acidifying effect on the soil during decomposing of organic matter.
  
  
• It also feeds earthworms and other microbial life in the soil.
  
  
  

In general, it does not matter what kind of soil you have. All soils types can be improved with the addition of compost. Organic fertilizers are safe and contain all the necessary micronutrients needed for optimal plant performance.

Benefits of Using Organic Fertilizer

• They release their nutrients more slowly in the soil when the plants need them, so they last longer. 
  
  
• They are less likely to burn the young roots of seedlings. Chemical fertilizers may cause imbalances in macroelements e.g. nitrogen, causing reverse osmoses in the plant roots and could damage roots and plants as well as soil microbes if applied improperly. 
  
  
• They enhance soil health by nurturing and not harming the soil microbes namely earthworms and other residue decomposers that help make soil nutrients available to plant hair roots.
