Is Lomi Compost more sustainable than conventional fertilizer?

Making your own Lomi Compost is almost certainly more sustainable than buying conventional fertilizer for your plants. The production of synthetic fertilizers is an industrial process that usually involves feedstocks such as natural gas and mined minerals. These extraction and chemical plant processes tend to be energy-intensive. They also tend to occur in large centralized chemical plants, leading to long shipping distances after the nutrients have been isolated.
