Song(s) of the Soil Podcast Episode #6, by Jake Mowrer: Organic Fertilizer/Nitrogen Breakdown

Description: Organic farming and gardening is not simple. The food that finds itself on your table from organic farms has a lot more put into it than conventional foods. Not chemicals, obviously. But work and management. Without herbicides and insecticides, the production of organic produce, grains, and meat requires more care and above all, hand weeding. This episode talks specifically about how organic fertilizers breakdown in soil to feed nitrogen to onions. A multi-state team of researchers is on the case to improve the outcomes in organic onions. This episode is a little bit different as the host is one of the interviewees, along with Dr. Tim Coolong of the University of Georgia. The interviewer is Alice Formiga of E-Organics. The song is Breakdown. Join the fun and learn about the tricks to understanding organic fertilizer from some of the top researchers in the world.
