3. NOPE neon organic,eh?
4. Good stuff, but again there are better less costly alternatives.

My
picture was to point that (a) there are chemicals in every fertilizer and (b) it is incorrect that "chemicals kill microbial life".
As for
OrganicBananac's analysis of the picture:
- Inorganic and a poor choice for my soils.
- 100% organic -- you can view the ingredients online with a little effort
- 100% organic -- depending on your definition
- 100% organic -- the cost to consumers varies a lot depending upon location and supplier.
For calculating the true cost of fertilizers, please see this thread:

Nutrient salts such as #3 are never applied in concentrated solution. Dosages range from 100ppm to 1000ppm. At this rate, the nutrients are beneficial to both the plant and soil life.
