Chemical vs. Organic Fertilizers
Author Ellen Vande Visse
What are the problems with chemical fertilizers? (Also called salt-based or petroleum-based manufactured fertilizers.)
We use salt fertilizers on crop land & we inadvertently:
scald soil microbes
burn up soil carbon
break up mycorrhizal networks
make crops thirsty, water, and weak
which produce less yield
which invites pests and diseases
which further seduces us into using more of the same fertilizer
which further seduces us into a dangerous dance with poisons
