Modern soil research brings new ideas in building up and maintaining soil 
fertility. You can cover your soil an inch thick with ordinary fertilizer but 
still the soil would be unproducive unless fortified by the natural bacteria 
which nature originally placed in all fertile soils. These soil bacteria are 
absolutely essential to plant life, replace them in the soil with humus to live 
on and convert to plant food and it will be a surprise how little extra 
fertilizer is needed for good gardens with lasting results.

manufacture of fertilizer from organic waste. It is natures own
