5 Reasons to Stop Using Synthetic Fertilizer
Synthetic fertilizers can have negative impacts on the environment: They can leach into water sources and contribute to water pollution, as well as contribute to greenhouse gas emissions during their production and transportation.
Synthetic fertilizers often contain only a few primary nutrients, and may not provide the full range of micronutrients that plants need to thrive: This can lead to nutrient imbalances in the soil and negatively impact plant health.
Synthetic fertilizers can alter the natural balance of soil microbes and reduce the overall health of the soil over time: This can lead to a decrease in soil fertility and make it more difficult for plants to absorb nutrients.
Some synthetic fertilizers contain pesticides that can be harmful to beneficial insects and other wildlife: Using these fertilizers can have negative impacts on the overall health of your garden ecosystem.
There are many alternatives to synthetic fertilizers that can be more environmentally friendly and beneficial for your plants and soil: Use organic fertilizers, such as compost or manure, or using natural methods to improve soil health, such as mulching or crop rotation.
Why Elm Dirt
Elm Dirt products create a true living soil with a secondary root system using microbes and fungi around the plant creating a symbiotic relationship. This is called Mycorrhizae. This secondary root system allows the plant to uptake 20-30 times more nutrients. Roots can hold more water, nutrients and defend against pests and pathogens. Also creating more drought resistant plants.
