Miracle Grow now has organic products :shock: ? That is what my Organic Gardening magazine said. Are you still going by their products?

| I would really read the label. Just because it has some organic ingredients doesn't mean "we", that are truly organic gardeners, would want to use. I bet they still have thier brand of fertilizers and chemicals in it too |

Agreed.
They are probably just "trying to make everybody happy" type thing :roll: .
But for the start, at least they have the "o" word. But I will probably stick with the proven organics.
WHAT TOOK THEM SO LONG :? ?!

As usual, like y'all I plan to at least read the "fine print".
Long ago I was told there is a difference between:
>> "organic" and "organic based" fertilizers.
>> "whole wheat" and "100% whole wheat" bread
>> "distilled" and "distilled quality" water
"Tap water" it seems can be bottled and laveled "Drinking water", even without any further processing.
Once I found a house brand vitamin labeled on the front "ORGANIC VITAMIN E". The ingredients label listed only "dl-Alpha Tocopherol". Even Kodak, which sells both, will advise that "d-Alpha" [the natural fom] has twice the potency of "dl-Alpha". When asked, the pharmacist just shrugged.
Take care.
Craig.
