Chemical fertilizers may promise fast results, but they often destroy soil structure in the long run. Organic fertilizers, on the other hand, feed the soil and the plant. Here are seven powerful natural fertilizers every Kenyan farmer can use, available locally or even from your backyard.
Compost – From kitchen and farm waste
Cow Dung (Manure) – Classic and rich in nutrients
Chicken Droppings – High nitrogen content
Green Manure (e.g. desmodium, beans) – Nitrogen fixers
Banana Peels – Great for potassium
Wood Ash – Natural pH balancer and insect repellent
Bio-slurry from biogas plants – Excellent organic fertilizer
