prakash7 Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 Hello Everyone, I Need to increase NPK of my Natural fertilizer which is from crab shell,it contains Nitrogen is 2.6%, Phosphorus is 1.2% and Potassium is 0.5. But i Need to increase in the ratio of NPK N= 4 P=3 k= 0.5. Is there any natural ingredient of marine waste or any other natural waste to increase Nitrogen and Phosphorus?; please suggest me. Thank you.
Sensei Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 The first which comes to mind is algae.. Yet another natural fertilizer, but not marine, is banana peel. Search net for "banana peel fertilizer".
Strange Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 Bones are the traditional source of phosphorous. (Where you get them from is up to you ...)
Sensei Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) Yet another way is to dry banana (or other fruits and vegetables) peels couple weeks/months and mix in blender. Then add to soil. If you have your own garden, you should make your own composter. https://www.amazon.com/composter/s?k=composter Edited April 24, 2020 by Sensei
AllMyFriendsAreDangerous Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) Go out into a forest of deciduous trees and find an old decomposing tree stump and dig up as much of the underground portion and roots as possible. When I was young, we cleared the land for a cabin and that night, the tree roots glowed in the dark (no joke). Turns out, phosphorus accumulates in tree roots. Plus, the decomposing stump usually helps with drainage, feeds the worms with organic material, and offers a bit of visual character to the soil. Nitrogen can come from anything green (like grass clippings - mind the seeds and weeds that propagate from clippings though) or you can even add a little pee. As stated above, sea weed is great too. Hard wood ashes are very high in potassium, just mind your pH levels (it is a base). I would be concerned about micro-nutrients as well..... I recommend the swiss method of preparing potassium nitrate, you get the N and K from pee and ashes without peeing on the garden or messing up the pH and just use the rotten tree stump as P Edited July 12, 2020 by AllMyFriendsAreDangerous added stuff
