Mitchel,
Ironically I drove within a few blocks of your home earlier today!

From your user title and many posts throughout this site it is plain to see that you are enthralled with what advertising agencies term "organic lifestyle". And since you have also stated that you have little understanding of the biochemistry of plant nutrition, this "organic lifestyle" is a matter of faith for you. So be it, I have an equally hollow faith in the origin of conifers.

It is also plain for everyone to see that I strongly object to "organic lifestyle" marketing and prostilization. For beginning gardeners, the ambiguous terminology and often vacuous phrases lead to misunderstandings, polarized decision-making, and imprudent purchases. A better approach is to use the established vocabulary and content of entry-level horticultural courses at accredited colleges. This way people can make informed decisions about the needs of their plants, the results they want, environmentally responsible choices, and economically prudent resources and products.
