If a person were to add chemical fertilizer to a pond to spur an algae
bloom, then to harvest the algae for use as compost, would that still be
considered "organic gardening"?

The organic gardeners may say no, but if you use something like Chilean salt
peter, which is a natural product, dug out of the ground, it is OK
