New Product: Lady Bug Brand Organic Fertilizer and Soil Amendments

by blair on February 22, 2009

We are excited to be carrying the Lady Bug Natural Brand of organic fertilizers and soil amendments. This brand of fertilizers (other than being awesome because it is an organic fertilizer) is not stuffed with fillers, like urea and bio-solids. They are made from turkey byproducts, like composted turkey litter, and cottonseed meal, a waste from cotton farming. Converting these wastes into excellent fertilizer keeps them out of the landfill, so using this brand is helping the environment in several ways!

Also, the Texas Department of Agriculture certifies this brand for organic lawns, organic gardens, organic orchards, and, yes, even Certified Organic Farms. It is a trustworthy product knowing Texas organic farms working hard to maintain an organic certification can use these products, and many of your CSA’s (Community Supported Agriculture Programs) do.

We offer several different options for Lady Bug organic fertilizers. There is a lot more information on each link, so you can decide which fertilizer will be right for your organic lawn or garden.
