Abstract/Contents:Discusses the potential advantages of using natural systems to produce fertilizer. States that a system has been developed which "helps fight off soil disease by quickly breaking down food waste and developing an end product that keeps plants/turf strong and healthy, eliminating the need for costly fertilizers, lawn treatments and other chemical products." Suggests that some believe synthetic fertilizers have negative environmental impacts on local water supplies and soil health.
