What are some organic fertilizers and composting techniques I can use?

There are several organic fertilizers and composting techniques you can utilize to enhance your gardening efforts. Some commonly used organic fertilizers include compost, fish emulsion, seaweed extract, bone meal, and manure. Composting is an effective technique to produce nutrient-rich soil amendments. You can start a compost pile by combining kitchen scraps, yard waste, and other organic materials in a compost bin or a designated area of your garden. Turning the pile regularly and maintaining a balance of carbon-rich browns (such as leaves or straw) and nitrogen-rich greens (like grass clippings or vegetable scraps) promotes decomposition. Additionally, vermiculture, or using worms to break down organic matter, is another popular composting method. Remember to avoid adding diseased plants or meat products to your compost, and aim for a balanced mix of materials for optimal results.
