Peoples need water to survive. About 80% of everyone’s body consists of water. It’s extremely important to keep it this way – stay hydrated. It pumps up our metabolism, cleans our body from toxines and this contributes to having a good mood. Lack of water in our organism is very visible. Our physical condition declines. Not everyone knows that but it can make us suffer from bad headaches. Humans can’t survive more than 7-8 days without water. But we don’t only need water to stay alive. We also need food. It provides our organism the energy to go through many significant.

The same thing is with plants. They need water and nutrients. To keep them alive, we must water them and ‘feed’ them by fertlizers. Justus von Liebieg invented them in 1841. These are substances added to soil next to a plant so that it can take them from there naturally. The most important and common substances added to fertilizers are nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, calcium and magnesium. When a plant recieves them, it improves the quality of its fruit and generally makes plants healthy.
