Everyone seems to focus on yield and quality on this site when arguing organic vs conventional. But what about the negative impact conventional fertilizers have on the environment?
The more I learn about the soil food web and nutrient cycle loop the less conventional salt fertilizer makes sense.
........
Just something to think about.
I have thought about it in the past.
I have a certain background which I will not go in to detail about here but I can tell you this:
Just as a human body cannot tell where consumed sugar has come from whether it be cane sugar, corn sugar, fructose etc. there ARE artificial "Chemical" fertilizers where not the soil & neither the plant can tell where they came from (meaning whether they are natural or not).
Without going in to detail here any further and boring most of you with chemical formulas etc. I can assure you 100% the fertilizer I am using (and linked to on the 1st page) comes just about as close to the "natural thing" as humanely possible - but @ a fraction of the cost and labor involved.
For those who care and have the necessary background to understand please go to Jack's website and see where & what the components have been derived from and you will understand & agree.
Some never will though. Or don't want to maybe.
