Somehow, I missed this one. I think Tad Wrote it.
That is a good message and I don't disagree with anything you said.
I actually use some organics, have always done so, and I believe in them.
That does not keep me from having strong ideas about organics, and the
other fertilize, as I have stated.
Many get the wrong ideas about my ideas and things I say.

Maybe I missed it but did you ever come out and explain your fertilizer
and how you chelate it, Wayne?
No, I did not say, and I don't recall saying I chelated anything.
My media does it and some earthworms help that I planted 25 years ago. I
did say that nature does it and man does it.
I personally use Fish Emulsion Fertilizer, compost, and various animal
manures. Some people believe in aerating the animal manures to break
them down into more useful compounds, but I lack the equipment. I trust
the soil organisms to break them down for me.:-)
Of course you understand this much better than many growers.
And you can add a few things, chemicals, to make it happen.
Not all chemicals are bad and not all are fertilize.
Therefore I don't poison them. I can't say I get your Paul
Bunyan-esque yields or plant size, but manage to grow more than we can
eat, and try to share with others.
Likely you could by changing a few things and learning more about your
plants.
Using a variety of materials as you do is the way to do it.
I wonder if you have researched and experimented with your
growing media. Many people error on this and disasters can result, it they
vary too far from the ideal.
Very likely your tomatoes taste as good as mine, and as good as any.
Often I increase magnesium and potassium at key growth stages thinking I
may increase this content in the fruit. I have not verified this by analysis.
