So, I love Spinach but apparently they are sprayed with a lot of insecticides to repel crop eating insects and this rules out Spinach for me. How worried should I be about the use of fertilizer for crop production?
P.S: I have been hearing a lot about sweet potatoes and how they are the perfect food but I was wondering how those were grown, do they use a lot of harmful fertilizer or anything along those lines?
Thanks for all your answers guys :)
The plants don’t know where the elements (N, P, K, etc.) they absorb come from. At least I haven’t found any evidence to the contrary.
Right, I am saying we grow them quicker which gives them less nutrients. And the fertilizer we use has downside but it does work. Not saying it doesn’t but it also isn’t “healthy” per se.
Yes exactly, fertilizer are all about growing a plant as quickly as possible for as little money as possible, so many miss out important nutritents for nutritious plants in the eye of profit. Edit: I meant to have the original comment here on the main thread woops, this is all I wanted to say here
