But what does it matter if the nitrogen is from blood meal or from synthetic fertilizer? It's all the same amount of nitrogen


Many of the nutrients in the soil in regenerative organic come from growing beneficial plants in rotation over a period of years. The practices improve soil quality to the point where additional nitrogen does not need to be added in bulk to the soil. They literally do not dump large amounts of nitrogen on the soil in a regenerative organic system. They have other ways to make sure the soil has the nutrients it needs.


It isn’t? The blood meal is lower yield because it is less nitrogen.
