    organic Another take on Organic Fertilizers

    Ok. Posting that vid has now made this thread I started worthwhile. The main reason I posted it was to have it challenged. I'm glad I got the answer I was looking for. In my opinion, if the best way to fight evil greedy companies like monsanto is to go organic, then consider me organic. Here is...

Some say (even on pro-organic websites) that there are little to no nutritional benifits with organic farmed foods over convensionaly farmed foods. In one website, Melbourne Uni...

    Meh, my main bit of info I wanted to get, was the whole "does chem ferts kill microbiology" (as ive been blatently told by a few organic fert company reps)or don't they.

    My 100th Post

    Yeah, have to agree with that, had the same experience with one at work 2 weeks ago - totally owned and had to resort to a re-image. But you do get success some of the time. Our rule of thumb, try it, if it works ...groovey, if all else fails - then waist no more time and blow it away knowing...
