Organic fertilizers

[snivloc16]

Are there any organic fertilizers I can buy from store that are ok to use for growing plants for my tortoise

Any fertilizer should be okay s long as it doesn't have any additives like weed killers or pesticides, and as long as the tortoise doesn't have direct access to the actual fertilizer product.

Oh ok. He won’t have access to it. I was just gonna grow some flowering plants in separate containers. So is miracle grow ok?

Read the ingredients and make sure it is just plain fertilizer with nothing added. Miracle grow makes many products. Some are okay and some are not.

If you have an aquarium, the dirty fish water is a great fertilizer. I have a 9 gal cooler with 4, 5¢ feeder fish I keep to produce a constant supply of fertilizer for my plants.

I have heard that before. But I do not have an aquarium.

This is the ingredients for miracle grow all purpose plant food.

That looks fine to me. I don't see any herbicides or pesticides in that list.

Awesome. Thank you Tom.
