Organic fertilizer

Have you ever heard of organic food? Well, just like we can have organic fruits and vegetables, there is also something called organic fertilizer.

Fertilizer is like food for plants. It helps them grow and be healthy. Organic fertilizer is made from natural things like animal poop, leaves, and compost. It's not made from chemicals like regular fertilizer.

Think of it like this: if you were a plant, would you want to eat something made of chemicals or something made from nature? Nature, right? That's why plants love organic fertilizer.

When people use organic fertilizer, they help the soil stay healthy too. That's because the natural ingredients in the fertilizer also feed the tiny bugs and microorganisms in the soil. These little guys help break down the natural ingredients so the plants can eat them. It's like a big family helping each other out!

So, using organic fertilizer is a good thing for plants and the soil. And when we eat the fruits and vegetables that were grown with organic fertilizer, we know that they are healthy and good for us too.
