I am very frequently told I need to stop using granular fertilizer, and start using kelp to build up my soils.........
Which, again, is the prescription many many many organically minded folks keep telling me is what I should be doing.
Being a free country, I guess they are free to tell you what you *should* be doing BUT, organic growers are permitted to use granular fertilizers (so long as there is no synthetics in it). I think you like to listen to these organists just so you can poke fun at them.

The other option I am always told, to be sustainable and organic, is to not plant crops, but plant clovers.
This is something I have done for decades. Tho, we need to understand that growing N through a legume means I am not able to grow a harvestable crop, so I produce less.
Yep and after all is said and done...... Chemical is about more crop and less money. Organic is about less crop more money.
