Elzy Milling

Organic gardening has many benefits; explore them below! Although Elzy isn't an exclusively organic supplier, we support those looking for organic fertilizers, solutions, and seeds when starting their garden! Although organic gardening is more time-consuming than traditional farming, you may find that the pros far outweigh the cons. Here's why so many are switching to organic materials: Natural Ingredients You may not be an expert, but you probably know that natural almost always means better. Whenever synthetic ingredients enter the mix, there's usually cause for concern. For example, synthetics found in fertilizer can cause water pollution and toxicity. Organic pesticides can reduce disease risk, and organic fertilizers hold nutrients better than traditional fertilizers. Environmentally-Friendly Organic solutions are environmentally-friendly because they promote plant growth directly from the soil. Better ingredients mean more nutrients, which also means th...

Cucumbers make for an excellent addition to any spring garden. We can't express enough how excited we are for spring 2022! Gardening is a great activity we can't wait to get back to; It reduces stress, promotes Vitamin D intake, increases serotonin, and overall is a great hobby to share with friends and family. Gardening also influences what we eat, and if you've never cultivated your own garden, you might be wondering what kinds of veggies you can plant that will improve your diet. We're here to share our favorite ones:  Arugula and mixed lettuces Arugula, romaine, and other lettuce plants will provide the base foundation for all the salads you could put together with your other veggies! Since greens don't do so well in heat, they're much easier to plant in the spring in comparison to those hot summer months. In general, it's advised to harvest after at least 30 days.  Cucumbers Although cucumbers won't be the best option for early spring, they're s...

Elzy Milling & Trade LTD. in Bellville, Ohio It's January, and all of us at Elzy Milling & Trade are still adjusting after the last couple of holiday months filled with comatose turkey, relaxation, and family and friends. Even so, January can be a slow month for some, and it can be easy to forget about important responsibilities, like checking in on your livestock to make sure that they’re happy and healthy. As farming production slows down this winter, it’s a good time to stock up on equipment. Here are a few things you’ll want to remember:  Your animals will have a difficult time maintaining body temperature during the winter months, even with wooly coats and furry pelts. Keeping them full and fed helps reduce this issue. Cows, for example, will typically ingest more hay during the winter, so you’ll want to have plenty of protein at the ready! Check out our feed solutions at 25 E Ogle St. in downtown Bellville. If we don’t have what you need, we can create custom orders t...
