Dirt vs Soil vs Compost vs Fertilizer
DIRT: The biggest difference between soil and dirt is that dirt lacks the microbes found in soil—like fungi, bacteria, archaea, protozoa, and viruses—which plants need to grow and thrive.
SOIL: Soil has four components: minerals, organic matter from decomposing plants and animals, water and air. Soil types are classified based on their dominant biological, chemical and physical properties, which is also how different soils are differentiated from one another.
COMPOST: Compost is a mix of substances and organic matter used to enrich and enhance soil, usually made by decomposing plants, food waste, and other organic materials. Compost supplies the earth with nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium and improves its ability to keep these nutrients longer. In short, compost feeds soil.
FERTILIZER: Fertilizers are organic or synthetic compounds used to nourish plants. The primary nutrients are nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus, all vital plant minerals, so farmers regularly use fertilizers to boost crop productivity. In short, fertilizer feeds plants.
Specific items, designs, or brands may vary from what is displayed or previously offered due to seasonal changes.
