Market Farming

Re: organic fertilizers.  

 

ATTRA (Appropriate Technology Transfer to Rural Areas) has a terrific materials on organic fertilizers - both short term boosters like the fish emulsion, and long term soil additives (minerals, etc.) to feed the soil food web. 

 

What I like is their appraisal of which ones are NOT economical for market farmers, and which ones are.  Their stuff is always detailed yet easy to understand if not a soil scientist (hah!).

 

Check them out at www.attra.org or call 1-800-346-9140.

 

They have TONS more info than appears on the website so you can call them and talk to a real human who has done farming and market gardening, etc.....
