Organische Pflanzennährstoffe

Organic plant nutrients feed the soil rather than the plant. Instead of delivering ready-made mineral salts, they supply material that soil microbes break down into something roots can absorb – which is slower, more forgiving, and produces a noticeably different result.

Organic vs mineral: the honest comparison

If you are new, organic in soil is the easier first grow. You can overfeed a mineral system in an afternoon; an organic soil will absorb a mistake.

What organic growing needs

• A living medium. Organics do nothing in inert media. Start with organic soils rather than coco or rockwool.
• Microbes. The nutrients are only as available as the biology breaking them down – see beneficials, bacterias and inoculants.
• Patience. Corrections take days, not hours. Feed on a schedule rather than reacting.
• Less pH chasing. A healthy organic soil buffers itself. Constant pH adjustment usually does more harm than good.

What we stock

Organic lines from Biobizz, Plant Magic, Ecothrive, BioTabs, Green Planet, Atami and Biogreen – bottled feeds, dry amendments, worm castings and compost teas. For a fully mineral programme instead see base nutrients, or nutrient starter kits if you want a matched set.

Organic nutrient FAQs

Can I use organic nutrients in coco?
Some, but it is not what they are for. Coco is inert and drains fast, so there is little biology to do the conversion. Coco-specific mineral feeds work better.

Do I still need to pH my water?
Much less. A living soil buffers itself. Tap water in most of the UK is fine as-is for organic soil growing.

Is organic lower yielding?
Usually slightly, yes – and usually better on aroma and flavour. Which matters more is your call.
