Supporting the Organic producers

Please support your 'local farmers markets' and look for the organic producers.

If you must shop at a supermarket ask them directly if the eggs they sell are really free-range and organic, if so ask the to tell you where they come from and the name of the farm/farmer who supplied them!
This applies also to the whole family food shopping basket; vegetables, cereals, dairy products meat and fish products.

From your Organic Gardener.

Organic Food For Everyone

What is a weed?

A plant that for which nobody as yet has found a use! So why kill weeds with the overuse of pesticides. Insects need them for food and habitat, and boy do we need insects, without them human beings would surely die out within 6 years.

What is organic food?

Organic is in danger of being taken-over and merely exploited as a marketing term.
Organic food is food grown on land unsullied by chemicals or genetic modification.
Organic growers try to maintain a diversity of different strains of plants and vegetables to prevent natural disasters from diseases wiping out harvests.

If men and women were not all genetically different in some way human society would have been wiped out by aids or other major disease before now. So why kill off plant, insect and eventually animal and human life by promoting Genetically Modified crops derived from Terminator seeds?

Ther's more, just watch this space.

Bye for now Earth lovers.
