I try to do all organic, but it can be hard to get organic seeds, especially when trading. And sometimes I can’t do organic fertilizer/potting soil. But I never spray herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, etc. I use things like dish soap, aspirin, companion planting, etc. Maybe someday when I don’t live in an apartment it will be easier to compost and I can stop with the non-organic fertilizers…..
