I garden organically so I don't use any synthetic products and they are not really necessary to achieve good soil or have a good garden.

I use compost that I make myself and I use natural mulches like straw or chopped leaves. I have a very productive garden and the soil has balanced nutrients based on my laboratory run soil tests.

I have a small coop with 12 chickens and I add their manure to my compost pile but I have also added horse manure in the past. Manure really heats up the compost pile and makes it decompose faster as well as adding nitrogen and other nutrients.
