Well, let's face it, you want to talk organic chemistry and I am a soil scientist. Let's agree that plant material eventially becomes organic matter but it is not, nor ever will be considered directly organic matter.

My point is when I watch the Troybilt tiller commercials, they misdirect the public into think that by rototilling plant debris into the soil that they are building soil O.M. when in fact they are destroying O.M.. By rototilling the net result is a reduction of soil O.M.

We are talking a difference of symantics here.
