Organic Gardening
What is organic gardening? It simply means that the seeds used and the plants grown have not been genetically altered and have not been treated with insecticides or herbicides. Usually fertilizer is derived from plant and animal sources. A sobering fact: Between 1994 and 2000 allergies in the US increased more than two times. This exactly coincides with the dates that genetically modified foods were introduced. Doesn't that make you want to grow your own?
