> specifically targeting regenerative organic, where fertilizer is not used

That seems restrictive given the argument that liquified worm castings are organic: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-21/worm-healthy-benefits...

(and similarly that pig waste (urine+feces+time) from pig farms makes good starting soil .. although there are understandable objections to pig farms and to shit in dirt when growing some types of food).

Is "regenerative organic" that tightly insistant upon an immediate closed loop that not even an adjacent worm farm can be mixed in?

Oh certainly manure, compost, and worm castings etc are used. I was thinking those are not normally called "fertilizer", but would usually be referred to by their more specific name. When I said fertilizer is not used, I meant industrially derived chemical fertilizers.
