I think you've misspelled the link. Try weedguardplus.com The web site says there's a "natural-organic" formulation, but I don't think the product is acceptable to at least some certification agencies -- last I looked NOFA-NY wasn't accepting this, though that might have changed; and it's not listed on the OMRI list, though some acceptable things aren't, as you need to pay to be OMRI listed. The questions would be both the source of the cellulose used, and what are they using as a binder? A lot of supposedly "natural" mulches turned out to have contaminants, and/or impermissible materials used as binders. I don't know whether this is one of them. Basically, if you're certified organic, always check with your certifier first; and if you're not certified, but this is an issue for you, I'd check with an agency anyway; the use of the word "organic" in products of this sort seems unfortunately to be unregulated. -- Rivka; Finger Lakes NY, Zone 5 mostly Fresh-market organic produce, small scale |
