Crysanthamum extract for one is used as a pesticide and can be used on food because it is all natural, but the safety of it is more questionable for me.
Joyce, I get where you are coming from and there are many who feel the same way. My husband has worked for a ag research group that collects data on both crops and chemicals, so that is where my info comes from. If it turns out the data is wrong, he will have a lot of explaining to do ;0)
There is just a LOT more to "organic" than flower extracts used as herbicides.
I agree. We have a conventional dairy, but I buy my chickens organic, as well as my garden I plant using nothing synthetic, but it's great to have both available.
I do a little mix of both on my lawn, too. Some synthetic, some organic.
Having to do some big changes to the soil, and you can't beat synthetics for speed and ease. But mainly organic feedings.
If I can use an organic pesticide, like bacillus thuringiensis on army worms, I do. But I'm also not afraid to pull out the big gun synthetics if my turf is at serious risk.
I'm also not giving up my pre-emergent.
But I'm lucky, in that I can treat the back yard one weekend, and the front the next, so my dog has somewhere to go. And if I have to do something to the whole thing, I've got good neighbors that will let Turb poop on their lawn and then we pick it up.
My last dog would nibble on grass to help stimulate him to "go". On rare occasions he would eat grass to stimulate puking. I figured he knew what he was doing.
