Garden Tips from Greenearth Living

What does the term "certified organic" really mean?

Plants, seeds, livestock, etc. that are produced in compliance with the federal organic law.

In practical terms this means the inputs (fertilizer, water, pest controls, amendments, etc.) used to produce the organic product are found in nature and free of contamination from non-natural sources.

Additionally, this also means that when you purchase clothing, household products, furnishings, etc., you are getting a product that was made with or by organic standards, basically toxin free. This is just as important as eating organically, because what we sleep on, what we wear, what we bathe with, what we breathe in our environment, all contribute to our well-being...good or bad. So try to go all natural and/or organic as much as possible. It's the best for you, your family, and your planet.
