All plants need plenty of sunlight, water & good quality soil or soil-like medium to grow. Plants fulfil most of their food requirement by the process of photosynthesis. Plant roots absorb water along with dissolved nutrients, minerals & more importantly - Nitrogen. A healthy, fertile soil is well equipped and capable of providing all these raw materials to the plants.
For garden plants, flowering shrubs, ornamental indoor and outdoor plants, lawn, vegetable plants and kitchen herbs, we need to provide fertilizers to the soil. And make sure that soil doesn’t lack any essential nutrients, particularly during the growth period, flowering stage or fruiting stage of plants. The addition of right fertilizers in proper proportion improves the quality of soil for growing your favorite plants.

Organic manure provides nutrients to plants, slowly and steadily. It keeps the soil porous, improves its water retention capacity, and checks the micronutrient deficiencies which may be caused by excessive application of chemical fertilizers. The chemical free manure effects a long-range improvement in the soil. There is no danger of overfeeding with organic manure as the plant takes the quantity it requires. Organic manure can be used for all kinds of plants.
