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"?

If that is your intent, why not add an organic (rather than chemical)
fertilizer to spur the bloom?

Seems to me you'd have to have a pretty large pond with a pretty significant
bloom to generate much in the way of compostables..........
