NATURALLY CHEMICAL
Many consumers are sometimes confused by the terms natural
and chemical when it comes to choosing lawn fertilizer. The term
chemical fertilizer does not necessarily mean that the product
was created in a laboratory, but rather part of natures own
chemical process. Mother Nature is the most reliable supplier of
modern fertilizers. While sources vary, the nutrients themselves
remain chemically natural. In other words, similar as nutrients
from animal manure. Only its origin may be considered different,
such as the case with manure. Weed Man fertilizers are natural
in their origin, meaning they are derived from common occurring
elements in our environment.
The fact is that a nutrient is a nutrient, as they behave identical
in nature, regardless of their source.
