So would that be Earth Friendly?
I don't know, but "combined with organic matter" can mean "combined with sewage sludge" unless the label says "contains no sewage sludge".

Further, when we grow plants that are not native to the ecology of our local environment it is rarely environmentally friendly -- no matter what the source of nutrients and amendments we use.
