Going Urganic

I posted this idea earlier in the month, but it has disappeared. So, here it is again.

We are going Urganic. Urganic is the concept of working toward being organic, but allows for the use of non-organic fertilizers. No pesticides and no herbicides will be used. We will practice as many organic practices as possible.

I found this year that our production isn't as high as it could be. We also started front porch farms in containers through out Belair-Edison that were all organic and also had minimal to no production.

In addition to being all organic, we were largely heirloom. I don't know how much of that combination played into our lack of optimal production.

So, Urganic we go. A little miracle-gro and some osmocote. The plants don't know the difference and the end product is safe to consume. Any fertilizer can be improperly applied, but when properly applied all fertilizers feed plants and will have no affect on local waterways.
