What are the different types of fertilizer? - Garden

Garden Fertilizing Canberra - Just like us plants need food to stay healthy. Food for plants comes in the form of fertilizers.
Fertilizers are a range of chemical or mineral products that release nutrients necessary for plant growth. There are two main types of fertilizers - chemical (inorganic) or mineral (organic) fertilizers.
Chemical fertilizers are added to the soil as liquids or solids and are specifically designed and formulated for a specific purpose such as to increase plant fertility and promote growth. Mineral or organic fertilizers are natural and are derived from plants and animals such as manure and seaweed and can be used as general soil improvers.
Fertilizers are necessary as they add nutrients to the soil whereby combatting any deficiencies that there may be in the natural soil such as inadequate levels of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous which can affect the plants health and growth.
Every plant requires different nutrients at different stages throughout its growth cycle. There are a diverse range of fertilizers all with differing quantities of minerals that provide either instant or slow release times dependant upon what each plant requires. For best results when using fertilizers always read the label and apply only as directed.

Boy, I hate to state the obvious, but did you read the directions? It will depend on which roundup product (there are many, many different ones) your using, what type of sprayer, and what type of weeds your treating. If your directions are missing, or your not sure how to interpret something, I recommend going to any home depot, lowes, ace hardware, etc, and ask them for help. Good Luck!

I have a Republic EZ drop fertilizer spreader. The gray plastic device (2 pieces, one screwed inside the other) up by the push handle that rotates to widen or narrow the slot at the bottom of the fertilizer storage bin when the handle is squeezed is broken. The cable connecting the device to the movable part of the slot is OK. The gray plastic has numbers on it that show through a small square opening in the gray plastic closest to the push handle. Where can I get a replacement part?
