Learning about Plant Food
A lot of nutrients and chemical elements are required for development of plants. Most of these nutrients can be found in large quantities even just in bare soil. Yet, repetitive growing of similar kind of plants in one location tends to deplete these nutrients thus making it insufficient for other batches of plants to grow on. The common nutrients that easily get depleted from the soil due to repetitive planting are phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium. But this is not really a big issue since nowadays gardeners can buy fertilizers that can replenish the nutrient content of the soil allowing plants to have enough of them even if the soil is subjected to repetitive planting.
Composting is another solution that can be taken to address depletion of nutrients from the soil. Compost is a mixture of soil and decomposing plants and other organic matter that serves as humus and fertilizer. In the home garden, you can easily create a compost pit by just digging a hole where you can place all your biodegradable wastes so that it will be decomposed in the soil and the nutrients will easily mix with it.
Aside from this, you can also opt to create compost pile instead of compost pit. Compost pile consists of layers of weeds, leaves, twigs, branches, and plant remains. These materials are alternately placed altogether to decompose then their final product is sprinkled into the soil to serve as fertilizer.
