Really? This is the first I've heard that Pro Mix wasn't
"organic-approved"! Everyone I know who doesn't mix their own uses ProMix
here in SE PA -- once the bales come in, they leave *fast*!

Anyone actually told something by their certifier? As we are non-profit and
don't come close to the income requirements to be certified (and, IMHO,
there are *far* too many certifiers, most of whom can't agree on what I'd
consider the basics), I won't do it, but for those for whom it is an issue,
it would be worth knowing. . .
