It’s harder to hit high yields with organics. Whereas bottled synthetics are a lot easier to crush with
Just bought a CD by an Australian hippy, permaculture band who sing in large part about vegetables. Too cool. Check it out.

Organics can also be done in a way that increases wet/dry cycles similar to hydro techniques, and you can get really good yields with the added benefit that each plant can interact with the rhizome and get what they individually need instead of all the plants being force fed the same salt strength solution.
I also think there is a huge problem breeding plants with salts, because then you totally ignore the genes of the plant that relate to plant root secretions. Then when i throw a bunch of salt bred plants into my organic mix its a crap shoot.

Justus von Liebig who invented NPK method was tell alone that he is not happy with
his technique and that organic is better... and that was before 100 years..
NPK kills microherd,mycorhiza,destroys soils,polute underground water and final product
is of doubtfull quality... nevermind,most of people will still use it..
