<br/><br/>Organic materials have been used as fertilizers since the time man began to domesticate crops, not by choice, but because they are the ones available. In Greek mythology, King Augeas was said to have asked the strongman Hercules to clean his stable of 3,000 oxen. And so, Hercules diverted the River Alpheus through the stable and manure and dirt, an accumulation of 30 years, were deposited in the adjacent land where, subsequently, the crops grew luxuriantly.
