The organic gardener prefers to use natural and organic materials and methods, and avoids using practices and synthetic chemicals that may be detrimental to his health or environment.
Since organic fertilizer and soil conditioning materials are slow working in general, they should be mixed into the soil at least three weeks ahead of planting and the soil thoroughly prepared for the seed or transplants.
Use of organic materials as soil conditioners and fertilizers tends to improve the ability of the soil to retain moisture.

Decomposition is the biochemical breakdown of mineral and organic materials.
They can be classified in heterotrophs, which require C in the form of organic molecules for growth, and the autotrophs, which can synthesize their cell substance from the C of CO, harnessing the energy of sunlight (in the case of photosynthetic bacteria and algae) or chemical energy from the oxidation of inorganic compounds (the chemoautotrophs).
Organic soils (Histosols) whose formation is favored by waterlogging may have turnover times exceeding 2000 y and soils of tundra regions where low temperatures retard oxidation may have turnover times exceeding 100 y.

 Organic Compounds in the Reef Aquarium by Randy Holmes-Farley - Reefkeeping.com
This article will provide a basic review of what organic materials are, what is known and unknown about them in the oceans, how these organics may be different in reef aquaria, and a summary of some of the effects, both positive and negative, that organics may have in such aquaria.
Dissolved organic material in the oceans is often measured in terms of its carbon content, and is referred to as dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and particulate organic carbon (POC).
Some organisms may benefit from specific organic materials in the water column that they cannot make for themselves, or do not get enough of in their particulate diet, and that are not used simply as an energy source.

 Increasing Organic Material In Your Soil
Organic material is anything in the soil or on top of the soil that when left alone will slowly bio-degrade into a crumbly fl material called “humus”.
A significant portion of new organic material occurs under the surface of the soil as the roots of plants die, as earthworms die, and as all the other micro and macro soil critters die.
As you add organic material that is incorporated into the soil, increasing the population of soil critters, those very same critters as they die begin to also supplement the organic content of a healthy soil.

 Chapter 2: Differentiae for Mineral Soils and Organic Soils   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
In the determination of whether a soil is organic or mineral, the thickness of horizons is measured from the surface of the soil whether that is the surface of a mineral or an organic horizon, unless the soil is buried as defined in chapter 1.
Thus, any O horizon at the surface is considered an organic horizon if it meets the requirements of organic soil material as defined later, and its thickness is added to that of any other organic horizons to determine the total thickness of organic soil materials.
It is a general rule that a soil is classified as an organic soil (Histosol) if more than half of the upper 80 cm (32 in) of the soil is organic or if organic soil material of any thickness rests on rock or on fragmental material having interstices filled with organic materials.

 Organic Fertilizers
Natural decomposition is the process that removes the carbon element from an organic molecule, the carbon evaporates as carbon dioxide, the remains is absorbed by the plant where the material will then be re-bonded to another carbon particle in the plant thru the process of photosynthesis.
By fertilizing the trees and all grass year round with high potassium and magnesium fertilizers, these materials are richly represented in the leaves that are the source of this recycled humus.
The result is large banks of soil have so much heat creation properties of organic material, thousands of BTU's of naturally generated heat is trapped under the trees during nights of freezing weather, sparing nearly everything under the trees any freeze damage.

Newly-formed humus is a combination of resistant materials from the original plant tissue and compounds synthesized as part of the microorganisms' tissue which remain as the organisms die.
Material so added, if soil is in proper condition and well managed, can help maintain or raise the organic matter content of the soil, and thus its ability to produce crops, in several ways.
The plant material may or may not be cut free from its roots before being incorporated into the soil, depending on what is needed to be able to handle it.

 Organic Mulches
Because organic mulches are derived from plant material, they will decompose and affect both the soil and the plants in several ways.
During decomposition of the organic material, soil micro- organisms secrete a sticky material that glues soil particles together to form granules.
If organic mulches such as crushed corncobs, sawdust, wood chips or straw are used, micro-organisms decomposing the organic mulch remove appreciable amounts of nitrogen from the soil.

 Soil Organic Material
The early plants that existed may well have been single cell organisms, but because they lived and died and were organic, in death, their remains provided the mineral particles with the ability to hold more water.
This, in turn, made it easier for successive generations of plants to acquire moisture, because the organic remains of their predecessors acted like a sponge, soaking up dew and rainfall in times of plenty, and holding onto it much better during dry periods.
The decomposing organic material also contained the elements and chemicals that had been acquired and manufactured during the lifetime of the plant.

If the containing organic material could be converted to oil, the quantities would be far beyond all known conventional oil reserves.
The organic material is chiefly kerogen, and the "shale" is usually a relatively hard rock, called marl.
By this process the organic material is converted into a liquid, which must be further processed to produce an oil which is said to be better than the lowest grade of oil produced from conventional oil deposits, but of lower quality than the upper grades of conventional oil.
