Hello,
A lot of the stuff I've found on organic gardening can be fit into one of a few varieties:
- Why all gardening/farming should be organic: "grow healthier food"
- Why all gardening/farming should be organic: "save the planet"
- How to do organic gardening: "use bugs not pesticides; fresh manure not fertilizer"
- and a very few more
Can someone direct me to a source that will talk more about the science than I've found?
For example: Does it hurt the microinvertebrates in the soil if I add fertilizer? How? If my soil needs some micronutrient (magnesium as one example picked randomly), how can I add it organically? etc.
Thank you!
Ted Shoemaker
