Use in Organic Gardening
Foliar feeding is sometimes used in non-organic gardening by those who, in their effort to "feed the soil", keeping it naturally healthy, often find themselves unable to provide trace nutrients to plants in sufficient quantity. Feeding through the leaves may allow gardeners to add such nutrients directly, without disrupting the soil.

Famous quotes containing the words organic and/or gardening:
“The human face is the organic seat of beauty.... It is the register of value in development, a record of Experience, whose legitimate office is to perfect the life, a legible language to those who will study it, of the majestic mistress, the soul.”
—Eliza Farnham (1815–1864)
“The genius of reading and of gardening are antagonistic, like resinous and vitreous electricity. One is concentrative in sparks and shocks: the other is diffuse strength; so that each disqualifies its workman for the other’s duties.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
