Organic Fertilizers: What Are They? Organic fertilizers are derived from plant, animal, or mineral resources, and combined with organic matter. In contrast to synthetic fertilizers, natural and organic fertilizers help strengthen soil health. Chemical fertilizers are known to deplete soil microorganisms and leach into waterways, creating large 'dead zones' where water no longer contains oxygen for marine life.

Fertilizer Forms Organic fertilizers are sold in three forms: dry, water-soluble powder, and liquid.
