Nonsense.
Minerals mined out of the land for decades do NOT magically reappear
out-of-nowhere when "organic" techniques are used on land that has been
abused by the commercial paradigm for decades.
Similarly, the complex microfauna/flora systems absolutely necessary for
healthy plants do NOT magically and instantly reappear when "organic"
methods are used on depleted/poisoned land.
These are strong arguments supporting supplementation.
