*organic* SFG?

okay, time to stir things up...

anyone else out there choose to garden their SFG's organically?  i'm not a
screaming fanatic (and have been awfully tempted by the boxes of fertilizer
when things start yellowing a bit) but i prefer to garden as organically as
possible.  funny thing is is that i'm a chemist...i guess i've just learned
that there is an appropriate use for chemicals, and i feel it's *not* on my
foods.

BTW-  i've been playing around with my compost pile alot lately, and you know
what i "discovered" which should speed things up...i threw all my w/e supply of
kitchen scraps in the blender, pureed with some water, and poured it over my
compost pile.  first, this  reduced the volume of scraps significantl;y (more
room left in the compost pile).  second, it's definately maximizing the surface
area of the scraps for easy decomposition (BTW:orange and banana peels were
pulverized in no time!!).  anyone else ever do this???  i would think it would
lend itself really well to worm bins (which i haven't gotten around to trying
yet)

i'd like to hear all of your comments on these two things...
