What about your seeds, Spec? Do you buy organically grown ones?

To give a more definitive answer Veggie, no I don't use organic seeds, I do not think there is any difference between "normal" seeds and organic seeds, as I am more inclined to think organic growing effects the soil more than the plants, but do think how you treat the plant above ground makes a great difference

Organic in the ground, organic + chemical in pots. The greenhouse tomatoes will be in soil this year for the first time, I'll probably keep them organic only and see how it goes.

No, I don’t do organic some of my feeds are chemical. I try to use organic feeds where possible like seaweed feed and tomato feed, also Bone blood and what ever.
Coffee keeps me busy until it’s acceptable to drink whiskey.

I doubt that anyone would say they are "totally organic" - but there are lots who would say they try to be. I'm one.

I try to be organic too but there are times when I need to resort to chemicals but not often.

Those of us who use some chemicals, what do you use them for, I avoid using chemicals to control any pests, last year I had a big problem in the greenhouse with whitefly so this year I planted lots of French marigolds along with my tomatoes and was completely clear of whitefly
