    How dare this man speak so truthfully and factually with good examples and good arguments

    I would like to remind everyone that the government of Sri Lanka forced the farmers to become organic growers and not use synthetic fertilizer. This resulted in a nationwide famine that led to incredibly high food prices, hunger and disease. Let that sink in.

    As a chemistry geek, it's so refreshing to see someone take down the 'organic is better' non-sense with facts and science.

    The main issue with chemical fertilizers is they do not add organic matter to the soil.

    Not safe and no real gardener needs to cheat. The reward comes in our success and wisdom comes from our mistakes. Gardening is about getting back to the earth, so why would you want to spill poison into it.

    I wonder how they think hydroponics works.

    I think people use the word "hot" to refer to an over-concentration of nutrients. Like planting into straight compost may be described as "hot". It can also mean stuff that is still breaking down. Like how you can't use horse manure when it's "hot" and it has to break down a while first.

    Thank you for an excellent understandable breakdown of synthetic versus organic fertilizers. In the future, I won’t be opposed to using Miracle Gro. It was quite entertaining to hear you debunk all of the fantastical incorrect beliefs. 👏

    Great video ! I too was converted into thinking that only compost and organic fertilizers in my garden and orchard. I now realize that both can be used for different purposes, and both are beneficial when used properly. Thank you for helping me understand how soil works!

    TY Robert for bringing science to the surface. I'm so tired of many making a bad rap of blue. I continue to use it as part of a hybrid fert program in conjunction with soil building additives compost,manures I use.
