I must ask though, what is the driving force for the use of organics? The ions that are in solution for the plants to be able to absorb them are identical, whether of organic or inorganic source.

Well I have only used Better-Gro and it just smells all chemically and nasty like synthetic poison. It has nothing to do really with my orchids health. The synthesis of chemicals creates pollution, air and water. Worm farming and the gathering of guanos would seem to go a little easier.

(so many rules and regulations see )

You must have more faith in government insectors and chemical corporations than I
