One of the most common organic fertilizers is manure.

What to do if it is not there? Replace it with other equally effective fertilizers.

What can be used instead of manure in the garden

Alternative options include humus, peat, compost, wood ash and even green manure. Chicken manure is rich in nitrogen.

To increase the volume, summer residents mix fertilizers, such as compost and peat.

Mineral complexes that contain macro- and microelements are also an excellent replacement for manure. They contain nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, as well as zinc, copper, molybdenum, iron, calcium.

Another alternative is combined fertilizers – organomineral ones.

They contain organic matter, minerals, and vitamin complexes with humate and humin.

Thus, it is quite possible to replace manure. But you cannot do without fertilizer. After each season, the soil must replenish its supply of nutrients so that the harvest does not disappoint.
