Default Re: Fertilizer

Chemical fertilizers are mineral salts. Well water can have the same salts in it. Certain beneficial nitrogen fixing microbes actually respond positive to mineral salts. Some organic methods contain arsenic so in cultivation there is no magic solution. When working depleted soils proper management practice can be good for environment and human health. Fulvic acid and humates are a chemical fertilizer that increases bioactivity and can be used on foliage. I use heavy mulch and biochar mainly. I have no problem using chemical fertilizers after I have done my product reasearch. If I need to do so I go back later with innoculants.
