After I read your first post, I was curious to try to learn a little bit about Calcium Nitrate. This is some info that I found on Wikipedia...
"(Calcium nitrate) was the first synthetic nitrogen fertilizer compound to be manufactured. Production began at Notodden, Norway in 1905 by the Birkeland–Eyde process. Most of the world's calcium nitrate is now made in Porsgrunn.
It is produced by treating limestone with nitric acid, followed by neutralization with ammonia:"
I'm not saying that it's either good or bad; but Calcium Nitrate does not appear to be "Organic".
