In regards to the organic vs inorganic fertilizer, if you read this link and are still convinced that synthetic is better then there is no way to change your mind.

I picked 6 of the reasons I liked best and will post here

1-Organic fertilizers contain trace minerals which are often critical to plant health and growth and missing in artificial fertilizers.

2-Organic fertilizers do not destroy beneficial microorganisms and earthworms.

3-Organic fertilizers increase a plants resistance to disease (Artificial fertilizers do the opposite which works out nicely for the manufacturers since they sell more insecticide, fungicides and other chemical poisons. Plants become addicted to the chemicals.)

4-Every pound of excess Nitrogen applied to the soil by artificial fertilizers destroys 100 pounds of humus.. .” The Carbon Connection, L. Ridzon and C. Walters

5-“Plants grown with ammonia- based synthetic fertilizers actually attract pest insects (Earth Kind Gardening, 1993). Many studies since then have confirmed that insects and diseases are attracted to plants that have had artificial fertilizers applied.

6-The University of California at Berkeley has found that broccoli and other vegetables fertilized with organic fertilizers attracted less pests (aphids and flea beetles) than those with chemical fertilizers. Additionally, the organic fertilized plots out yielded the commercial plots.
