FERTILIZER The fertilizers which are needed by the orchard or home garden are potash, phosphate, and nitrogen. With the exception of the pea or bean family, plants cannot utilize what is known as the ‘free nitrogen’ obtained by the plants from the atmosphere, and this must be supplied in the form of blood-and-bone or dried blood, which is termed organic fertilizer. Sulphate of ammonia or nitrate of soda are inorganic, or artificial. Nitrogenous manures are very valuable for vegetable crops, especially green vegetables such as cabbage, lettuce, cauliflower, beet, or spinach.
