Plant Fertilizer - Anita

• Plant fertilizers are like plant food because plant fertilizers have the nutrients needed for the plant to develop and grow just like the human body.
• Plants need to be fertilized because most soil does not contain the nutrients plants require to thrive and grow.
• Most plant fertilizers contain and are made of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. 
• Roses need fertilizer made up of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, iron, and magnesium.
• Are you thinking, "I can't spend so much money on plant fertilizer!" Don't worry now! There is a type of plant fertilizer that can be made by you and doesn't cost any money! It is called compost. You throw all your wasted fruit, vegetables, eggshells and many other things in a basket. In a few months, the wasted food will turn into compost, one of the richest types of soil that your plant will love!
