I can dig it,
Easy to get lost in definitions and all (I knew "soil" was a mistake, "process"?).
So I need to look at the standards of lets say "USDA Organic". What criteria does a product have to go through to be labeled "USDA Organic". I know some of the standards, no malorganite (sewer sludge), no round-up, and only Piretihan or neem oil (plant based) as opposed to Kaptain (petroleum based) insecticides can be used.
I must confess: My grow would not be labeled "USDA Organic" (mainly I don't want the feds anywere near my grow room) also I use Pure Blend Pro and Meta Naturals. I'm going to have home-made compost soon, I may be able to kick the habit without killing my bank account. hopefully my buds will be "USDA Organic" in about three months (Or as close as a legal California Medically Recommended Patient/Grower can be, without a federal regulatory agent coming to my house).
I think it comes down IMO (no f%&^ humble about it, I might be humble, but this shit is religion for me, thank you for helping me inventory my faith and works) is the process.
Lets take a hypothetical: Kids, you have one group of twenty kids raised on organically grown USDA certified home cooked, nutritinaly balanced, and fresh food. The other group is raised on snack bars, tang and vitamin supplements.
Which group would you rather be locked in a room with for a half hour.
We are poducts of the Biosphere, if we eat natural, we run and live better (If you don't believe that, hang out with someone morbily obese someday for about 3 hours). if we don't our bodies respond by disease, bad heart, liver, and all.
I can only use metifore for a process that would take someone half way to a graduate degree in science to explain the concept clearly, especially to those who refuse to listen.
I should probably find out what it means to be "USDA Ordganic". To say there is no such thing as organic and we would have to go back to a unpolluted time to be "organic growers" is foolish.
Definitions will be important to discussing important issues intelligently (I could lawyer out and define every word over two syllables but since we are on an Organic Soil {da} forum, didn't previously think it would be an issue, especially to someone who gathers their own rain water. {why gather rain water don't matter, usless you are in the 5% of the nation with enough rain to make it more economicly feasable?)
A Quest has begun (and I thought gathering leaves for the mulch pile was fun).
Love and peace.
