The average farmer and even large scale gardener in the US spends a great deal on fertilizers and fertility aids to gain a good yield on their efforts.  Due to modern chemistry mankind was gifted or cursed depending on how you look at it, by learning two things…  Plants can grow and be productive with only three primary nutrients (NPK)  We can make NPK cheaply from industrial processes   This is what led to the “green revolution” credited today with feeding the planet with almost 8 billion people on it.  I want to point out before turning the corner that … Continue reading →
