In decades of years, inorganic fertilizer has been in large-scale application and dominates the fertilizer market. It is considered the most basic and important material input of agricultural production. However, inorganic fertilizer is long been debated for its bad influence on soil and environment. Excessive use of inorganic fertilizer makes the organic matter in soil gravely insufficient, the soil will harden and its water permeability, air permeability and light absorption will deteriorate, threatening the land quality and ecological environment. Meanwhile, organic fertilizer, as a favorable alternative, has a slow efficiency, exclusive use of it can’t meet the requirement of crops. In this case, organic-inorganic compound fertilizer has come into view.
Organic-inorganic compound fertilizer uses organic materials such as manure and humic acid as raw material, after microbial fermentation, inorganic fertilizers are added as per certain proportion, and then by granulating, the organic-inorganic compound fertilizer is formed. It has the following benefits.
1. Balanced Nutrient Supply
Organic compound fertilizers not only can realize the balance of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium nutrients like inorganic compound fertilizer, it can also achieve the equilibrium of organics and inorganics. By the regulation of organic fertilizer, the rapidly available nutrients in the inorganic fertilizer will be supplied not too fast, while the slowly available nutrients in the organic fertilizer will ensure the lasting supply of nutrients, meeting the nutrients requirement of the whole growth period of the crops, increasing the yield and improving the quality.
2. High Using Efficiency
The inorganic composition that otherwise could easily flow away with rain, can be attached on the organic composition effectively, and absorbed continuously later by the crops, reduce the loss of inorganic composition. Meanwhile, organic matter makes the phosphorus in the compound fertilizer not easy to be fixed as in inorganic phosphate fertilizer, increasing the using efficiency.
3. Improve Soil Property
Organic-inorganic fertilizer contains large amount of organic matter, which can improve the physicochemical property and biological property of the soil.
4. Activate Soil Nutrients
On one hand, Organic-inorganic compound fertilizer can strengthen microbial activity in soil, promote the decomposition of soil organic matter, release nitrogen, phosphorous and trace element, make the mineral form of phosphorous, potassium and silicon available. On the other hand, organic-inorganic compound fertilizer can regulate the soil PH value to some extent, make it beneficial for the activation of most nutrients.
5. Physiologic Regulation
The organic-inorganic compound fertilizer contains quite a large amount of physiological activator, such as amino acid, humic acid, and enzymes, they can promote root respiration, absorption of nutrients and leaf photosynthesis, etc.

How to Fertilize Your Lawns
Lawns keep healthy depend on many factors, including adequate water, sunlight, and oxygen for respiration. The nutrients or essential elements absorbed by roots from the soil are also important for lawn growth. The purpose of fertilizing a lawn is to add the necessary nutrients in the required amounts and at the proper time to achieve desirable lawn qualities. Here is some smart tips to help proper lawn fertilization on organic lawn care.
* The first we should know is that is there is no need Phosphorus when fertilizer lawns. We all know that established lawns rarely need phosphorus to grow. Although phosphorus is an essential nutrient, but not a limiting factor to growth.
* You can test your soil for its nutrient content before you fertilize. A comprehensive test results will be applied the local. Before you add a nitrogen fertilizer, or an amendment like limestone, you should make sure it’s only what your lawn truly needs.
* If soil tests show that fertilizing is necessary, you should fertilize lawns at the right time. In grasses endure cold winters areas, fertilize in fall; energy stored in roots will provide all grass needs in spring. Elsewhere, fertilize in advance of the rainy season.
* Don’t go overboard High-Nitrogen Fertilizers. When fertilizer your lawn nitrogen, remember no high nitrogen fertilizer and don’t go overboard. It’s easy to burn your lawn with high-nitrogen fertilizers.
* Photosynthesis of plants both need fertilizer and water, so water also plays an important role for lawn growth. Without water, fertilizer won’t work properly.
* Spread Compost. Compost is probably all most lawns need to grow well. Compost can be applied at any time unlike commercial fertilizers including organic fertilizers.
* Mow Your Lawns Properly. There are some major mowing rules, one is watching the weather. If the weather is in a long time dry condition, then don’t mow. If you must mow during dry spells, trim only the smallest amount off the top.

Some Background and History of Fertilizer
Fertilizer is any organic or inorganic material of natural that is added to a soil to supply one or more plant nutrients essential to the growth of plants. Fertilizer can improve plants’ growth and yield.
Fertilizer is first used in soil by ancient farmers. When the chemicals that plants need when growing are discovered, fertilizer technology is developed significantly. Then the start use of modern science of plant nutrition dates to the 19th century.
Modern synthetic fertilizers are composed mainly of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium compounds with secondary nutrients added. The use of synthetic fertilizers has significantly improved the quality and quantity of the food available today, although their long-term use is debated by environmentalists.
The soil can provide the basic chemicals nutrients for plants growing. But the supply of these components in soil is limited, and after plants are harvested, it dwindles, causing a reduction in the quality and yield of plants. Fertilizers can provide the chemical components that are taken by growing plants to improve the growing potential of soil, and create a better growing environment than natural soil.
Fertilizer can also be compounded and processed to suit the crop growing. Generally speaking, the primary components in fertilizers such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium nutrients are nutrients which are vital for plant growth. Plants use nitrogen in the synthesis of proteins, nucleic acids, and hormones. When plants are nitrogen deficient, they are marked by reduced growth and yellowing of leaves. Plants also need phosphorus, a component of nucleic acids, phospholipide, and several proteins. It is also necessary to provide the energy to drive metabolic chemical reactions. Without enough phosphorus, plant growth is reduced. Potassium is another major substance that plants get from the soil. It is used in protein synthesis and other key plant processes. Yellowing, spots of dead tissue, and weak stems and roots are all indicative of plants that lack enough potassium.
Fertilizer also contains trace elements in small amounts that improve the growth of plants, such as calcium, magnesium, and sulfur. The micronutrients include iron, chlorine, copper, manganese, zinc, molybdenum, and boron. While they may be present in small amounts, they are also important to plant growth, and without them plants can die.
An effective fertilizer need for the essential nutrients which is provided by many different substances. These compounds can be mined or separated from naturally occurring sources, such as sodium nitrate, seaweed, bones, guano, potash, and phosphate rock. Compounds can also be chemically synthesized from basic raw materials. These would include such things as ammonia, urea, nitric acid, and ammonium phosphate. Since these compounds exist in a number of physical states, fertilizers can be sold as solids, liquids, or slurries.

How Much Leaves Should We Add When Composting?
Leaves are one of the most valuable compostable materials for the large amounts of fibrous organic matter they supply. Leaf compost serves primarily as an organic amendment and a soil conditioner. They improve structure of all soil types. They aerate heavy clay soils, prevent sandy soils from drying out too fast, soak up rain and check evaporation. Composting is becoming a main way to deal with leaves instead of burning and sending to a landfill.
The decomposition of leaves takes a quite long time. It could be usually about one or two and even more years. Besides, leaves have a tendency to mat down into a tight mass, create an impenetrable barrier to air and water. Shredding the leaves is usually required to solve these two problems. This will reduce the bulk of the leaves by about two thirds, reduces the tendency of the leaves to mat, and speeds up the decomposition process as more surface area is bared to the decomposer at work.
Besides, mix shredded leaves with a high nitrogen source such as grass clippings will do much help. Most leaves are in the "browns" or high carbon category of the compost pile. This means they contain much less nitrogen, while nitrogen is the one factor that starts compost heap heating up. High nitrogen materials, such as fresh grass clippings, old vines or other plant wastes, fruit waste and vegetable peels, etc., can speed up the decomposition process and increase the nitrogen content of the end product, making it more suitable for use as a soil amendment.
However, too much nitrogen can result in the formation of ammonia, creating an odor problem. The rapid decomposition also uses up oxygen, causing an anaerobic condition which greatly reduces the composting rate, and produce unpleasant odors. (you also can use Self-propelled Compost Turner-20 Series)So the high nitrogen component must be carefully controlled. A healthy compost pile should have about two-thirds carbon (brown) materials and one-third nitrogen (green) materials. Take grass clippings as an example, an mix of 2 to 3:1 (leaves: grass clippings) is generally considered the optimum choice. A high-nitrogen fertilizer added to the pile may speed up decomposition.
There are some leaves that should take caution.
1. Poisonous Leaves such as oleander, hemlock and castor bean. They can harm soil life, so add very sparingly.
2. Acid & resin leaves such as eucalyptus, bay and laurel, juniper and cypress and acacia. They are toxic to other plants and soil life. Add sparingly or not at all.
3. Cottonwood, poplar, and ash are pH imbalances that raise the pH in soil, making alkaline soil more alkaline. They should be added sparingly. Rhubarb should be used sparingly because its oxalic acid content lowers soil pH.
4. Plant leaves with rust, fungus, mildew, or seriously infested with insect pests are best to take to the landfill. In theory, the heat from the composting process will kill disease spores, but in practice not all compost piles attain maximum heat potential.
