Apple's (AAPL) iconic co-founder is one of a kind. The world's most valuable tech giant will survive without him. Between CEO Tim Cook's operating savvy and chief designer Jonathan Ive's penchant for simplistic gadgetry style, most believe Apple will continue the momentum that's been building over the past few years under Jobs' watch.

However, what Apple will miss the most in his absence is Jobs the master marketer.

  • Water

How to transplant the mint:

Organic Fertilizer

Go Organic - Organic Gardening and Garden Tips

Fertilizer is anything added that improves the fertility of the soil. a good organic fertilizer feeds the soil  rather than only feeding the plant. This is the safest way to fertilize plants .

A fertile soil has a balance of minerals and micronutrients so subtle, that I do not think that any chemical could add
them all. However it is known that manure, compost and leaf mold will.

Organic fertilizers improve the soil to allow it to hold water, fixes nitrogen and makes nutrients accessible to plants
when they need it, this is probably one of the most important factors that organic fertilizer has.

Nitrogen makes leaves grow, and if you see yellow leaves then there is a nitrogen deficiency in the plant. For nitrogen, add compost, manure, blood meal, grass clippings and any other garden wastes.

Next comes phosphorus, which is crucial to seed development plant growth and disease resistance.

Potassium is necessary for early growth, stem strength and is also essential to the formation of carbohydrates necessary for the protein in the plant.

Using Organic fertilizers is much better for your soil, than any commercial product.
