No. Organic FERTILIZER is made of natural materials. Examples of organic fertilizer include livestock manure, feather meal , blood meal, cotton seed meal, compost, etc. Organic fertilizers also CONTAIN PHOSPHORUS. In fact, even if the phosphorus number on the bag is low, often so is the nitrogen number. Turf grass managers will often recommend nitrogen numbers in the twenties (20s); therefore, if organic fertilizers with low nitrogen percentages are USED, the recommended application rates (total amount applied) are often high resulting in a larger amount of phosphorus being applied than is ideal. Even low phosphorus products can add up to large loads of phosphorus DEPENDING on how much is applied.
