Organic Gardening Tips
The following products will add to your organic gardening experience, and make excellent
compliments to organic fertilizers. These products include organic plant foods, natural
polymers, and corn-based products.
Mycor Root Builder
Mycorrhizal fungi attach themselves to plant roots and help plants to make use of organic
chemicals in the soil. With a Mycorrhizal fungi root builder, you can get these helpful critters
to work more efficiently. This means that your organic fertilizer will be that much more
effective! GreenSense Mycor Root Builder contains Endomycorrhiza, Ectomycorrhiza,
Scleroderma, Kelp, Zeolite, and Humate. It works great on all the plants you grow, including
turf grass. You can use it directly on new transplants or use a coring drill or auger to penetrate
deeper into the soil for established plants.
Horticultural Cornmeal
Horticultural cornmeal helps to strengthen beneficial soil fungi such as Trichoderma. These
beneficial soil organisms will help fight off the harmful fungi that can attack your plants. This
is especially important for vegetable crops which are often susceptible to fungal diseases.
Horticultural cornmeal also helps build up the quality of the soil, which will benefit all the
plants in your garden, from grass to tomatoes. You can also use it to safely remove algae from
ponds.
Corn Gluten Meal
While corn gluten meal works as a natural herbicide for turf grass and organic crops, it has the
added benefit off fertilizing the soil. If you want to learn more about this great organic
gardening product, please visit Dr. Nick Christians' University of Iowa Corn Gluten research
page.
Garden Molasses
Garden molasses stimulates soil microorganisms and is a perfect compliment to organic
fertilizers. It also works as a foliar treatment (applied directly to the leaves of your plants),
providing your plants trace minerals such as sulfur, potash, and iron.
“Solid Water” Polymer
This environmentally safe polymer will reduce the amount of water your plants need by
retaining the water in the soil and releasing it slowly over time. You apply it only once a year.
It works great and won't mildew!
