My dad wants to fertilize the lawn where my tortoise is (not in his enclosure around it) I was wondering is their a tortoise safe fertilizer. I did see some thing that said safe for kids and pets which was made of lots of different types on nitrogen
Ask your to look up organic gardening it will tell how compost tea will make the good bactia grow better and make the grass stronger . And chemical fertilizer will kill the good BactriaYou might want to check out some different types of compost tea bags. They may work. Check out the ingredients first though.
He won't he will just be next to itI would not fertilize areas that the tortoise will have access to.
Also be careful because most "fertilizers" nowadays are actually "Weed 'n Feed" mixtures that contain herbicides and or pesticides.
Plain fertilizer will not be harmful once it is all absorbed into the soil, just don't let a tortoise have direct access to the actual fertilizer.
Fertilizer doesn't stay put. There is run off and some of it also blows elsewhere.He won't he will just be next to it
