Organically grown?

Even better, veganically grown. vegan means I do NOT use factory farm animal by products, like NO fish, feather, blood or bone meal, and no factory farm commercial animal manures either.

They ARE organically grown, but now a days, people can't say so, unless they're certified.

They have to be certified, and pay for inspectors to check out and run tests on their growing environment, then getting the approval when they pass inspection and are thereby certified with documentation.

So the best we can say is uncertified organic, or chemical or bio hazard free.

I don't use any chemicals at all (saves on expences anyway).

I use organic food waste Scrap Frappes, Organic Alfalfa and kelp, worm castings, and PET rabbit manure.

The rabbits are fed organic food scraps, like potato skins, root vegetable tops, spent bean and pea plants, untreated grass, weeds, blackberry trimmings, crabapples, etc.

Whatever they won't eat, goes in the scrape frappe, which gets diluted in 30 gallons of water, then poured on the beds.

Mushrooms come up in the beds, and that means, that these scrapes are being decomposed rather quickly, which means the scraps are converted into nutrients for the plants quicker, than a compost pile.

There were no major pest infestations, and no tomato hornworms this year. I did have a lady bug colony on my parsnip plants that I let go to seed.

Without the organic documentation, anyone can say they grow organically, but there's no real proof, just their word, which may or may not be the truth.

The documentation, IS proof, because an inspector agreed that the growing methods did meet all the specifications of their definition of organic.

I know my stuff is, because I personally eat and use them.

I'm a vegan, and started growing my own edibles so I knew no tormented animal by products were used. I also, didn't like the fact that chemicals were sprayed on FOOD. So, I can eat my produce, with no worries.

Something ate up my Lima bean plants though. So in the future, they'll be grown near marigolds, or under an organza row cover or something.

Plants under stress, are more suseptible to pests, and the Lima Bean plant was stressed. It was in a pot for a long time because the bed I wanted them in, wasn't finished.
