Organic gardening emphasizes natural materials, especially organic matter from living or once-living sources. Essential plant nutrients—nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium—are available in organic forms. Nitrogen is abundant in manures and seed meals, with variations in concentration. Phosphorus sources include bone meal and rock phosphate, which releases nutrients slowly. Potassium-rich sources are seaweed and wood ashes, though the latter is unsuitable for acid-loving plants. Commercial organic fertilizers often combine these elements, varying in nutrient concentration and release rate. Compost, a key organic fertilizer, provides a broad nutrient range and improves soil health, although it’s classified as a soil amendment due to its low nutrient concentration.

Handling organic waste properly can be challenging due to the unpleasant smell and dirty water produced during the composting process. Despite the availability of various composting technologies and equipment in the market, time and pollution remain significant concerns. However, a novel technology that combines patented equipment and enzymes offers a potential solution. This innovative approach can convert organic waste into fertilizer in just a few hours, and most importantly, without causing pollution.
