Answer: Yes I do.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chemical fertilizers provide the plant with the major nutrients they need which are Nitrogen, Potassium and Phosphorus and they do so in abundant quantity such that the plant is able to utilize them and grow faster.

Organic fertilizer also provides those same nutrients but does so at a slower rate. It will however add other things to the soil such as beneficial microorganisms, and microbes which will work overtime to improve soil fertility.

In building soil fertility, the plant will have more nutrients as it grows.

Using both is therefore balanced with one providing nutrients early and the other ensuring that nutrients will be continually available for the plant.
