#gardening If you are a home gardener who wants to increase the yield of your garden, organic materials are not always effective, so knowing how to use commercial fertilizers (also known as synthetic or chemical) properly and carefully may be your best option. Here are some tips on how to use these powerful chemicals wisely.

When buying a granular fertilizer, the bag should have a list of contents, including the percentages of three basic chemicals fundamental to plant growth This chemical is essential for leaf growth, and is used in large proportions when you want a large plant with lots of foliage. Some plants extract nitrogen from the atmosphere.

lawns and landscape plants can benefit most from a fertilizer blend with a high proportion of nitrogen and moderate amounts of potassium and phosphate, while garden plants tend to benefit most from specialized fertilizers that combine more of one element and less of another.

There are many different methods for applying fertilizers, including direct application by hand, application to the volley, application by dilution and the use of mechanical equipment to apply the fertilizer to the sides of the growing area. The method you decide to use will depend on the amount of fertilizer you need to apply, the size of the growing area and the size of the plants to be fertilized.

Buy only the amount of fertilizer you need, as some chemicals break down over time, especially when in contact with moisture, becoming less effective
