A natural garden is a garden aligned with nature’s own ecosystems. The aim is to encourage native plants and wildlife, to avoid using chemical products, and to design your garden so that it is largely self-regulating.Features of a natural garden

Nematodes are tiny roundworms or eelworms that live mainly in the soil. Most of them are highly beneficial, as they contribute significantly to soil improvement.

Neobiota is the umbrella term for animal, plant, fungal and other species that have reached an area where they were not originally native since the year 1492, with direct or indirect human help.

Neophytes are plant species that have reached an area where they were not originally native since the year 1492, with direct or indirect human help.

Nettle feed is a traditional liquid plant tonic and a proven organic fertiliser for the natural garden. It is made from fresh or dried nettle parts and water, and provides plants mainly with nitrogen, potassium and trace elements.

Nitrogen is one of the most important plant nutrients and plays a key role in the growth of leaves and shoots. It is a major component of proteins, enzymes and chlorophyll, and is therefore essential for photosynthesis.

NPK fertilisers, also known as complete fertilisers, contain the three most important plant nutrients – nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) – in varying ratios. This combination covers the basic nutrient requirements of many crop plants.

Nutrient deficiency describes the condition in which plants are not sufficiently supplied with essential nutrients. If certain nutrients are lacking, the plant cannot fully carry out its normal growth and metabolic processes.
