Post #5441783

I absolutely support organic gardening, and I understand the problems associated with pesticides. But I've never read much on why non-organic fertilizer (such as Miracle Gro) is a problem. Can someone please point me in the direction of some articles or threads from reliable sources?

When I talk to people about organic gardening, I want to be able to explain WHY organic nutrients are better. I can come up with some general, obvious stuff on my own, but I need to do more reading on the issue to be able to come up with a really suitable response.
