There's ...Cherie, pretty scary stuff for sure. There's so many things that folks consume today that who knows how it all works when mixed together. Artificial colors, flavor enhancers, preservatives, and the list goes on and on. I can't say that I'm as far along on eliminating all the unpronounceable elements in food as you and Bill are but I'm working toward that kind of existence. In all my attempts to garden through out my life time, it's always been organic although I didn't really know that's what it was. I just learned it from my Dad's farming practices way back in the 1950s and 1960s when all farmers pretty much farmed organically. Back then soil was treated much better than just something to hold up the plants. There's not a lot of life in the chemical bathed soils of today. I'm a self proclaimed Urban Farmer and have a backyard raised bed garden and two vacant lot Urban gardens. I have contracted with a friend who owns a vacant lot to keep the lot mowed for him free of charge if he doesn't spray any weed killer on it. I only want the chemical free grass from the mowing to use as mulch and compost. It's a rare commodity in urban city USA. <br /><br />Have a great wellness day.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571521947867768070noreply@blogger.com
