fun facts about fertilizers

let's talk about fertilizers. Just as with synthetic pesticides, we avoid the synthetic fertilizers like Ammonium Nitrate. This synthetic chemical can be applied at rates of over 200 pounds per acre, and according to a West Virginia University Extension Service article it has been shown to leach from the soil into the groundwater at rates that are unacceptable for municipal water supplies.

Organic fertilizers have much lower toxicity and far fewer environmental effects according to the Organic Trade Association. Our standard approach to fertilize the soil includes:

  1. Crop rotation, which means we rotate a variety of crops that keep the soil healthy and fertile;
  2. Cover crops, which take nitrogen from the air and put it into the soil;
  3. The use of natural fertility agents, such as compost and cottonseed meal.
