1. Works immediately
Inorganic fertilizers are usually given as a
“rescue treatment” to plants that are malnourished, unhealthy or even dying.
Inorganic fertilizers are appropriate in this situation because the nutrients
needed by the plants are readily available.
In comparison, using an organic fertilizer
would mean that the plant has to wait until the components of the organic
fertilizer have been broken down first into its primary nutrients. By then, the
plant could be dead already.
2. Contains all necessary nutrients that are ready to use
Inorganic fertilizers are designed to give
plants all the nutrients-Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium that they need in
appropriate proportions and amounts. Hence, plants do not get more of one can
of nutrient over the other.
Instead it has a balance of all the nutrients it needs and are readily available at a given time. Adding inorganic fertilizers into the soil to be planted makes the soil ideal for planting as it is already enriched with nutrients.
3. Affordable
You do not have to spend much on buying an
inorganic fertilizer because it is relatively cheap. Of course, it is not as
cost-effective when compared to using compost. Yet, for the convenience that it
gives you when it comes to caring for your plants, an inorganic fertilizer is a
very good deal already.
4. Convenient to use
It takes awhile to make your own organic
fertilizer. Though the process is relatively easy to do, still you need to
delegate enough time to do the task and wait for the decomposition part to take
place. It takes awhile. With an inorganic fertilizer, you save a lot of time
and effort. Inorganic fertilizers are quite cheap and even easier to use and
prepare. They are available at almost every gardening store.
