I listen to Garden Talk on WTIC radio (from Hartford). This past week, a woman who led the organic gardening movement here in CT since the early 80s was a speaker......it was noted how things have changed....for the better! In the 60s & early 70s, it was the hippies who believed in organic gardening....now, it's followed by many. New Morning, an organic store a few towns away from me, is always packed......I've always kept an organic veggie garden, have never used any type of chemical on my plants or in my soil. However.....the land I live on was once a commercial orchard.....never thought about it, but the soil is probably loaded with chemicals from the spraying of the crops...
