So. I was wondering what other people think about the organic foods debate, so if you think they are the only foods are good or if some foods don’t matter.

I for one only eat unprocessed foods. I only buy organic meat and eat wild game. In the summer I garden all my vegetables and herbs. But in the winter I buy everything from the store and only my greens and herbs organic. And I make all my own bread and granola bars and everything.
What’s are everyone else’s opinions on this matter? Are organic foods just a trend to some people? Just cause they are organic are they healthy? and anything else you want to throw in!

Boppysgirl asked:
Do the plastic rain barrels off-gas chemicals into the rain water that would pollute the soil and vegetables?
Do the plastic rain barrels off-gas chemicals into the rain water that would pollute the soil and vegetables?
Are there alternatives to plastic rain collection barrels???
What type of roofing do you need to use for rain collection so that chemicals from the roofing materials do not get washed into the water, and into the soil and vegetables???
Any info would be great. I would like to try and turn our little urban home into an ‘urban homestead’ and become a bit more self-sufficient. Thanks.

It’s choking out the plants and I cant get it stopped not even with hoeing and pulling.
violetki… I messed up I will know better next year.
I’ve killed all it around my garden and inside the fence with roundup.
I laid 6mil black plastic inbetween the beds and put mulch over that.
I really think I’m going to salvage what I can and dig out the dirt and lay down the fabric and just start over. New dirt will cost $60 to $80 but I’ll save more than that on my grocery bill . Beans are cheap and grow fast like cucumbers and squash

Cali asked:
Is it everyone with his own organic garden and composting toilet or is it installing solar panels and driving a hybrid car? It is living in a tent and riding a bicycle? How spartan a lifestyle is truly sustainable going forward?
I guess this is why we can’t figure out how to save the planet. No two people agree on what is reasonable.

$Billy Ray$ Valentine asked:
With all the differences of gardening opinions and practices of today, mainly Organic vs NonOrganic do you think it would be in the best interest of Y/A to add the category of Organic Gardening? This way the non-organics wouldn’t be butting heads with the organic group and vice versa. What do you think about a separate category?
Putting Organic in the title is not going to alleviate the problem. My whole point of this question is the butting of heads. Everyone has seen it here. One person wants to kill it right now, and the other says no, do it with soap and water, it’s safer for the environment. One says to use granular fertilizer and someone else will pipe up and say to use manure or compost instead. There seems to be alot of coming in behind a persons answers with the attempt to discredit them. That is why I have asked this question. Maybe if they have their own category the organics can answer questions in their own language, amongst themselves.

winter iris asked:
I’m growing, in seperate pots, strawberries, basil, and rosemary. They are all relatively new, fragrant plants. They have been potted with supersoil brand potting soil and are watered as needed. They are thriving beautifully, but these tiny winged insects flying around them constantly. They appear to be gnats. Is there any organic solution to this?
