A terrible irony considering what Zyklon B was infamously used for the fact that Haber was jewish.
Apart from lawn care, for example, how many gardeners/landscapers use artificial fertiliser as a base dressing before turf laying or as pre-planting soil stimulus?
Early in my career (mid 1980s) I often used Growmore.
'Cinderella' gas a threat to climate and ozone layer
"However, the researchers were optimistic that both the warming potential and the danger to the ozone layer could be swiftly curtailed if action was taken, particularly in agriculture.
"In the agricultural sector, it comes down to using nitrogen fertiliser more efficiently, a very simple idea, to improve the uptake by crops and livestock," said Dr Alcamo.
"It has a lot to do with using the right fertiliser, in the right place."

Goodness me, we had a building boom in our area during the 70's and 80' and we managed to grab a good slice of the landscaping work, which would quite often be the basic, "prepare topsoil and sow grass seed/lay turf etc". I think some of us will remember 'builder's topsoil', so we wouldn't do a job without raking in the 'base fertilizer'(Growmore) just prior to final surface treatment! We gained much repeat work because you could see the Architect's eyes light up, as we would have the grass up, cut and looking good in a few weeks. We still have some of same relationships going today - 30 odd years later
Never worth penny pinching on the prep work......... and that includes good old growmore!!
