npk fertilizer-How to Make Liquid Fertilizer from a Granular Organic
After sharing recipes for making your own granular organic fertilizer from inexpensive bulk ingredients, I’ve gotten a number of questions from readers asking how to convert a dry organic fertilizer into a liquid. Why would you want to?Liquid fertilizer is fast-acting. A liquid fertilizer can be faster acting than a dry or granular fertilizer, because the fertilizer has already dissolved into the liquid and thus plants will take it up quickly in larger quantities. This isn’t appropriate for all landscape settings, such as when you are fertilizing shrubs, but when you are fertilizing brand-new plants or seedlings, or those plants with an obvious nutrient deficiency such as all over yellowing or yellowing in between the veins, a liquid organic fertilizer can act as an “energy drink” for your plants to give an immediate boost in health.
