I'm not sure if we're talking about the same things. I agree that an excess of a fast release fertilizer will burn the lawn. I don't know for sure that it will kill most or all of the soil microbes. But my question is this: Why would chemically synthesized urea kill all the microbes, but urea from urine and manure not kill the microbes? I also agree that fast release nitrogen could migrate to the watershed. But I don't think it matters whether the fast release nitrogen comes from a synthetic source or an organic source. What matters is that it's fast release and highly water soluble (and used in excess). If your town has a ban on nitrogen fertilizers, you wouldn't be able to use chicken manure or blood meal either and they're both organic. As for how something that is harmful to the environment could be organic, there are plenty of examples of things that are harmful to the environment that are organic, especially if you consider excessive amounts. If you want an extreme example of how excessive amounts of certain chemicals can be deadly, do a web search on DHMO. I'm not trying to advocate wholesale use of chemical fertilizers. I don't even remember the last time I used any chemical fertilizers (probably at least 5 years ago). I'm just trying to understand why urea kills the microbes when it is synthesized, but helps them grow when it comes from animals. On another note, aren't algae microbes? If urea kills all microbes, how can it also cause algae bloom? The more I try to understand this, the more confused I get.

Actually, there's a post on the kitchen forum with the same topic right now. They're discussing quartz vs granite and someone mentioned that they've gotten hair dye on the Silestone and didn't notice it right away and that it wiped off with no problem several hours later. Link below. Here is a link that might be useful: Kitchen forum granite vs quartz cage match

My DIL wore them for years,as she had brain cancer and where they cut her hair off,it never returned because of the scar,and what hair did come in on the rest of her head was sparse..This past year she has gone to full wigs though. kathi

I asked my hair stylist that same question, although my obsession is with the "Kardashian" hair. My hair is blond and wavy... It'll never get that long, unfortunately. She told me that they use a shine oil, they flat iron and even the Kardashians use human hair extensions. Certain ethnic groups (Asian, Indian and Mexican/Spanish) for example, have individual hair strands that are naturally thicker, stronger, and the hair as a whole grows faster. Dark hair also reflects more light, so it looks super shiny and healthier. The majority of human hair extensions are Indian remy hair - the hair naturally grows faster. A lot of the commercials you see show dark hair for this reason. In the Garnier commercial with the blond, she more than likely has extensions, although if you have "virgin" hair (no color ever, no perm, wash every few days, no hot tools) you may be able to grow out blond hair. I just wear my extensions when I want long hair - it's too hard to take care of it when it's naturally long. LOL
