Well, that's true...it would be more like 'transitional organic'. I
appreciate Michelle Obama's effort; we can't help what the previous tenants
of our property did :-)
My city garden was a toxic nightmare...they tore down the house that had
been there and buried it in the basement, lead paint and all. The only
'soil' I could get lots of for free was Phillymulch...composted sewage
sludge. It grew beautiful plants, but who knows what was in it. The theory
was that the organic material in the compost bound up some of the bad
stuff...I don't know if it's true, but I'm so glad I'm not raising veggies
there anymore. .
I hope the White House goes to organic lawn care soon. I'd rather see a few
weeds and have them encourage less use of lawn chenicals.
