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

Or straight urea, which is 100% organic.

Most urea is synthetic. To assure you get organic urea, you should put
horseshit in the pond

BTW I'm an organic chemist. That does not mean I learned chemistry without
pesticides.
