  • Organic myth 2!!!!!

    Went to post on the Organic myth post and found it had been closed for some reason?
    All I wanted to say was that I prefer using rainwater for watering and for my chooks who have tasted naught else and took no harm. I don't like chlorinated water and as far as I know bottled water is 'Spring water ' with nowt added?
    I think it's sensible to use rainwater whenever possible and our allotment members are encouaged to use it as our tap water is metered. Rainwater is a natural resource and is FREE!!!!!

    Just wondered whether organic farmers are allowed to use mains water.........maybe the Rat can answer this one?

    Hi, I agree with you - I dont profess to being organic, although i do try and grow produce as natural as poss. Found enviromesh, although expensive, very good for protection. I think if we all try and head in the right direction thats the best we can hope to do.

      Plotman, you like to be a bit naughty don't you, with your "you organic brigade" lines. lol
      lol
      lol

      "I think i will stick to my bug gun, Upsets the organic mob"

      "I got chemicals to kill the slugs. That should rock the boat a bit , he he he"

      "If you add ecover, its not organic"

      "All these misled organic gardeners make me laugh"

      "these make believe green gardeners"


      "We all harp on about being organic gardeners ...He He !! Certainly touched a raw nerve lol. Gues we're not so pure as white after all lol"

      "ive found all peat free compost rubbish. Even the pro gardeners admit its very poor quality"

      "all i read on here are so called organic gardeners trying to suppress weeds with Black plastic"

      "All these so called organic shortcuts to avoid effort"


      But then you say "I dont believe in spraying anything on my food, Wot few insects find there way in are easily dealt with by hand" , so are you just trying to aggravate people and stir up trouble?

          What the heck is happening here......I'm totally befuddled? Plotman replied to my original post and now his reply has gone? From what I could see it was quite inocuous? Has he been banned from posting?

                        lost me in all that!!!
                        The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

                            I've been out all day and missed the 'fun'.....

                            My angle on the whole thing would be that if you knew what elements/chemicals were in the soil that you grow your veg in, you probably wouldn't eat it. All natural soils have unappetising chemicals naturally occurring...and some unnaturally occurring - you can't control what you start out with, but can only make your mark on the soil you have.

                            And what exactly goes into making stuff like enviromesh? Hmmmm....

                            Everyone makes their choices, and grows to their limits of 'organic-ness' or 'chemicalness' wherever they may lie.

                              I agree Zazen. Before I started growing I really wasnt aware, or bothered that food was treated with chemicals or flown halfway round the world. My attitude is different now. However I can only go as organic as common sense allows. I have limits on my time and energy after all

                              Ps I have no idea how many chemicals go into making enviromesh and I dont mind! Anything that keeps the cabbage white of me cabbages will do me! See I told you I had limited ethics
