Now is a good time to visit this subject, before folks start ordering their plants and seeds. It has to do with the myth of purchasing anything with the organic label. IMO, that’s what it has always been. And adds probably 25% or more to the cost. How do you know it’s organic. Like things you buy from the grocery. It can say organic but is it? The quickest way to tell is to weigh your billfold before buying and then after leaving. One big hoax for most products.
My questions about composting had nothing to do with the term organic. It’s simply a means a way to get rid of something I don’t need to get something I have to buy every year at a store, that I can make for free.
