How to Add a New Fertilizer in Samomes?

This guide will help you create a fertilizer record in the Samomes app that is not in the preset database. Suitable for DIY fertilizers (homemade mixes), rare branded fertilizers, or when the composition of a known fertilizer has changed.

In this guide, we'll walk through the entire process using the example of adding a DIY NPK fertilizer.

Use cases:

  • Adding DIY fertilizers
  • Adding lesser-known branded fertilizers
  • Creating updated records with current compositions

  • Liquid — for ready-to-use solutions
  • Powder — for dry fertilizers requiring dissolution

Step 3: Select Measurement Unit

  1. Select the unit "g/L" since NPK fertilizer is a solution.
    • g/L — grams of active substance per liter of finished solution
    • % — percentage content of element in fertilizer

Conversion reference: 1% = 10 g/L.
