Convert Food Waste into Organic Fertilizers!

Organic fertilizer is a mixture of decayed organic matter. It is usually made by gathering plant material such as leaves, grass clippings, and vegetable peels and animal waste into a pile or bin and letting it decompose with the help of earthworms, fungi or bacteria. Organic compost contains essential macro and micronutrients for plants, often absent in synthetic fertilizers. Compost releases nutrients slowly over the cultivation period, which helps plants soak those nutrients better and make a healthy food in our plates.


🌱 What is Organic Fertilizer & Why It Matters? 🌱

Organic fertilizer is made from natural waste like leaves, vegetable peels, grass clippings & animal manure. With the help of earthworms, fungi & bacteria, this waste turns into nutrient-rich compost. Unlike chemical fertilizers, organic compost releases nutrients slowly, making plants healthier and ensuring chemical-free food on our plates. πŸ…πŸ₯¬
