I use the stuff, but I admit that Kooiker is right that it is the way that us organic growers can legally launder urea and NH3 to use it for our crops.


>>>Enlighten me. What does that mean to launder it?? Is there a way to even use urea and NH3 to grow anything in the cycle of organic? I thought you had to be half a decade or more away form any commercial fertilizers to produce organic.


Brandon answered it exactly how I meant to imply it. Use NH3 or Urea to grow corn. Feed that to non organic chickens or hogs, use that manure to grow organic crops.

As for transition period, USDA minimum standard is 36 months from last application of a "prohibited substance" before an organic crop can be harvested.

As of today any manure is allowed as long as it is not from humans and doesn't have any synthetic additives. Fo example some hog barn pit additives render that manure not allowable.
