I go the extra mile to get my milk, honey, cheese, and herbal remedies from mennonites, but those **** willuse roundup as quick as anyone else. I buy my green goods at a shi-shi organic market, paying top dollar.
But I use the dirty dozen/clean fifteen list, and I buy as many of my veggies conventional as possible.
Do you know about Jerusalem artichokes?
when I was a kid my grandfather, the town's doctor, was doing organic gardening before people really knew what it meant.
In fact I still got his old Green Organic Gardening book
anyway....organic gardening has changed dramatically....it's all about how much organic gardening supplies you buy and use.
Tree trimmers supply me with free wood chips....Lawn Care guys supply me with free bagged grass and leaves from their customers...other wise they have to pay to dump it
I have a compost pile as big as a bus and I turn it every week. That's my fertilizer and soil additive....haven't had to use real fertilizer of any kind for years
Haven't even had to buy and use approved organic gardening stuff....
I would never pay for "Organic" stuff in the market...it's a scam....they do things that the original organic garden people would never do.
But they have bought and paid for the supplies that the government says is approved for the produce to be classified organic
don't follow the rules and buy the **** required....you can't overcharge customers to your organic produce
by those standards a caveman 10,000 years ago wouldn't qualify for his squash to be called organic
