But seriously I have actually learned something from reading this thread... plus all the statements made, claims dispelled, hyperbole debunked, accusations thrown, etc. make it all worthwhile
I guess I'm somewhere in the middle of this spectrum of "natural" vs synthetic. I'm starting out with a clay soil about the consistency of a brick. I can't tell you how many cubic feet of compost I've bought in an effort to add some organic material and break up da clay (not to mention bags of steer manure, sand, etc.)... Seeing as how some of my bananas seemed a little nutrient deprived I bought some 13-13-13. I've only added a very small amount to each plant as I didn't want to overdo it, kinda wanted to ease into it. Going entirely natural or "organic" does appeal to me as I do have a 2.5-year old that will hopefully be eating bananas from our backyard within the next couple of years, so I wanna do right by him.... but I also minored in chemistry, so I've got a special place in my heart for synthetics
I guess like most people I'll find myself somewhere in between until my soil is enriched enough to Go Green
