Feeding Vegetables - Fertilisers and manures.

We all need to eat. vegetables - and other plants are no exception!

The difference between success and good vegetable crops is often down to the feeding regime, and the types of fertilisers or manures that you use. Always remember, that what you put into vegetables, you will eventually put into yourself! Don't worry though, all garden fertilisers go through a complex change of form to make them available for the vegetables and safe for us to eat.

Organic or not is a question you will have to answer for yourself. Whatever the feeding method you adopt, the chemicals will have to be broken down in the soil through various processes to make them available as food that the plant can absorb. It is folly to think that organic fertilisers do not contain chemicals. If they did not contain the chemicals that the plants require, then they would be no use to the plant. More about all that later!
