I totally disagree with you about not adding any fertilizer. ALL crops
require a lot of food and even if your soil is very good the proper
amount of fertilizer (as recommended after a soil test) is HIGHLY
recommended. Yes, the OP could get by without adding any but my bet is
that he would not get anywhere near the crop that he will get by using it.

Just as long as everybody knows that chemical fertilizers are salts and
that they kill soil (an incredibly stupid thing to do).

There is a financial incentive for lobbyists and public relation types
to get you to buy chemical fertilizers and insecticides which kill
ecosystems. There is no money in composting and crop rotation which grow
top soil. Are you smart, stupid, or apathetic?
