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:
“A special feature of the structure of our book is the monstrous but perfectly organic part that eavesdropping plays in it.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
