[QUOTE="novatech, post: 887032, member: 5494"] By bugs I assume you mean microorganisms. The non organic N is known to kill some micro organisms. The quantity killed would hardly be noticeable when a healthy soil microbial population exists. Those that die will be replaced in a very short time. When soil is healthy it contains a large amount of organic matter. The soil microbes feed on the organic matter changing it to a form that plants can use. Is is a slow process so the organics should be put into the soil a season in advance of the need. Synthetic fertilizers are water-soluble and can be taken up by the plant almost immediately. [/QUOTE]
