"Chemical fertilizers rely on an assumption that plants only need three elements to survive and thrive. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are those three. This is the equivalent of saying that we need protein, fat, and sugar to live. While this may be mostly true, pure protein, pure fat, and pure sugar do nothing to supply the vitamins, minerals, and diverse supply of bacteria and fungi in our diets. Here is a list of a dozen things that you can do with organically fed soil that cannot be achieved with conventional chemical feeding.
 
  1. Decompose plant residues and manure to humus.
  2. Retain nutrients in the form of stable humus.
  3. Combine nitrogen and carbon to prevent nutrient loss.
  4. Suppress fungus and bacterial diseases.
  5. Produce plant growth regulators.
  6. Develop soil structure, tilth, and water penetration/retention.
  7. Clean up chemical residues.
  8. Shift soil pH to neutral and keep it there.
  9. Search out and retrieve nutrients in distant parts of the soil.
  10. Decompose thatch and keep it from returning.
  11. Control nitrogen supply to the plants according to need.
  12. Pull minerals out of inorganic soil components for plants.
Soil microbes need sugar and protein to thrive. When you apply synthetic ferts, none of the things on this list gets done. The microbes normally get sugar from plant roots. Protein in nature comes from dead insects, plants, and animals. The organic gardener applies protein artificially in the form of organic fertilizers. It is usually in the form of a ground up meal made from plants and animals to try to replicate the natural process."
