Fertilizing a successful vegetable garden

Why choose a 100% natural fertilization program?

Several companies that sell synthetic fertilizers offer fertilization programs. They usually involve three applications of soluble fertilizer during the summer. Specialists in 100% natural fertilizers rarely recommend this type of program, because their fertilizers have much longer-lasting effects than synthetic fertilizers.

That’s why the Bionik® program is slightly different from those usually suggested. It lasts for the whole season, from soil preparation to seeding to maintenance fertilization. Bionik® specialists recommend incorporating Bionik® Marine & Forest Compost into the soil during soil preparation. Depending on amendment needs, Bionik® Marine Calcium can also be added. When planting, they recommend a Bionik® fertilizer made for the type of plant: Bionik®Seedlings, Herbs & Indoor Plants for seedlings, Bionik®Fruits & Vegetables for the vegetable garden, or Bionik®Tree, Shrub & Evergreen and Bionik® Annual & Perennial Flowers for ornamentals. Maintenance fertilization is done by applying Bionik® Seaweed every three weeks.

Why follow a fertilization program?

This approach to fertilization has several advantages. The main one is that the products are compatible with each other. The professionals who developed them did so with an overarching logic in mind, so there’s synergy between the products. Following the program recommendations ensures that the 100% natural fertilizers enhance the beneficial effects of the compost. That guarantees effectiveness. In addition, these programs are easy to implement since they were created by professionals.

The programs developed by the Bionik® team are adapted to the different situations found in gardens. They cover all your plants’ needs. Moreover, as they’re based on the use of compost and seaweed, only the products for planting vary. This avoids waste and the unnecessary expense of purchasing multiple products.

Using programs based on the high-quality Bionik® product lines developed by horticulture professionals will nourish the soil life in order to feed your plants well.
