Could you name even one organic implement that is “worse” than the conventional alternative?
- candiddevmike 3y agoIt's hard to say "worse", but for a lot of organic alternatives the problem is "more"--it requires significantly more applications/frequencies than synthetic alternatives. This can contribute to run off and groundwater contamination.

- chabes 3y ago> This can contribute to run off and groundwater contamination. More than straight up synthetic nitrogen fertilizer? Or any of the many other commonly used inputs that stick around for way longer than the organic alternatives? You sound like you’re not convinced that I actually do this for a living, and continue to make up a reality that suits your preconceptions.
