The advantage of inorganic fertilizer.

By January 11, 2019



1. Works immediately: Inorganic fertilizers are usually given as a “rescue treatment” to plants that are malnourished, unhealthy or even dying. Inorganic fertilizers are appropriate in this situation because the nutrients needed by the plants are readily available.

2. Contains all necessary nutrients that are ready to use: Inorganic fertilizers are designed to give plants all the nutrients-Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium that they need in appropriate proportions and amounts. Hence, plants do not get more of one can of nutrient over the other. Instead it has a balance of all the nutrients it needs and are readily available at a given time. Adding inorganic fertilizers into the soil to be planted makes the soil ideal for planting as it is already enriched with nutrients.

3. Affordable
:You do not have to spend much on buying an inorganic fertilizer because it is relatively cheap. Of course, it is not as cost-effective when compared to using compost. Yet, for the convenience that it gives you when it comes to caring for your plants, an inorganic fertilizer is a very good deal already.

4. Convenient to use
: It takes awhile to make your own organic fertilizer. Though the process is relatively easy to do, still you need to delegate enough time to do the task and wait for the decomposition part to take place. It takes awhile. With an inorganic fertilizer, you save a lot of time and effort. Inorganic fertilizers are quite cheap and even easier to use and prepare. They are available at almost every gardening store.
