Rep Power: 10 | I use no chemicals, not even fertilizer on my patio plants and they turn out very flavorful and juicy. They are definitely organic.

Rep Power: 10 | No, I think they are just looking for another way to boost prices and make more $$$'s.
We grew up on vegetables that our dad would grow and all he used was water and a compost he made out of leftover vegetables and other 'organic' stuff. This was in the 1950's so he was way ahead of the times.
