Do you all really trust when a manufacturer claims that their product is organic?
There are 2 levels of officiall organic; certified and compliant.
Certified means the manufactuer has gone thru training, and been inspected and approved to carry the certified organic banner under strict guidelines.
Compliant means that it says its organic but no governing body has verified it.
I make my own organic nutrients out of my yard clippings via compost. I know exactly what is in it. I know that all material put in has no fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. I also know how long it has been curing for and i know the overall health of the pile by being able to touch and smell it myself and inspect the worms that are producing pound upon pound of organic castings.
Composting is free, saves tax money, saves landfill space, and creates material to ammend the soil that pollution decimates.
Rather than reaching for an expensive mix of stuff that you really dont know what is in it or where it came from, go into your own backyard and make your own, or take up worm composting. If you have enough room in your house for a something the size of an old VCR, you can worm compost and get all the free organic nutes you want.
