Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

<< "derived from ammonium nitrate, ammonium phosphate, calcium phosphate, and

  Sounds pretty chemical-y to me, and the current owner of the brand is
 Scotts, definitely a chemical house.
 Interestingly enough, Osmocote has been mentioned several times over on the
 Organic Gardening List, and nobody there challenged its use.  And those
 folks are fanatics! >>

     Does *sound* chemical-y! But it doesn't mean it is or isn't so. I don't 
know whether Osmocote is considered organic or not, but all of the above 
chemicals can be found naturally (i.e. organic)...as opposed to created (i.e. 
non-organic).
