My sister read something online that organic farms are allowed to use animal fertilizers. If anyone knows anything about this please let me know. Thank you.
foodvfan makes a good point. The reason why it concerns me is I want to get away from that as far as possible. I want to grow my own garden one day and I live near a organic farm that only uses vegetables and chicken manure. That’s as close as I can get for now.

Shouldn’t it be cheaper since less fertilizers, chemicals, additives, and hormones go into making it. Or is it more costly because there are far less producers of it?
O ya duh that makes sense. And yes I agree it’s worth it.

K asked:


cow dung, cow urine, jaggery, flour, soil, neem oil (as pesticide) and water.

This technique says that each gram of cow dung has more than 500 crores of beneficial micro-organisms that make the soil more fertile. The dung generated by one cow is sufficient to produce organic manure for 30 acres. This natural fertilizer can be used for any crop.

Mulching plays a vital role in this technique. Mixed cropping and crop rotation is used to ensure replenishment of soil fertility.

In this system of farming no monetary investment on the part of farmer is required for purchase of seeds, fertilizers and plant protection chemicals from the market. The farmer can produce his own seed. More importantly, there is absolutely no place for fertilizers and plant protection chemicals in this scheme of farming. The whole philosophy behind this system is to make the farmer self-reliant by freeing him from market dispensed high cost inputs.

Are you interested in learning this technique?
