Most farmers are resorting to the use of organic materials in their farming activities partly due to the high cost of inorganic fertilizer/chemicals. It is also due to the realization that most of the health issues are due to high concentration of chemical residues in the food we eat this days and so the paradigm shift to organic farming. Most backyard gardens are organically practiced and used to serve the home table.
