FREE: 20 Seeds to Unique Tomato - African Togo - Small Pink - True 2 Type

Are these seeds organic? Thanks

Organic (non certified) no chemicals of any kind. NO chemical ffertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides.

I use organic plant based fertilizers, organic Alfalfa, kelp, molassas, and organic veggie "scrap frappes" (liquified organic vegan food scraps, like banana peels, crabapples, and whatnot, natural mineral amendments, and PET rabbit manure, which is also vegan and organic.

The rabbits eat what we don't want, (sweet potato & potato skins, blackberry leaves, weeds, seed stalks, crabapple fruit and leaves, flowering quince fruit and leaves, pea plants and pods, calendula plants, untreated grass and weeds, kale leaf veins, , etc.

What the rabbits don;t want, goes in the scrappe frappe, and diluted with gallons of rain water, so worms and microbes can eat it quicker.

So, it's a no waste cycle, and I only have to buy minimal amendments, like lime and greensand. I try to encourage worms to colonize the growing beds.

I don't keep a compost pile because it's too much work, and encourages critter pests.

After I put a scrape frappe in a garden bed, mushrooms come up, which is a good sign, that decomposers are working and breaking down the scraps almost immediately.

Then the mushrooms die, and are broken down by microbes and worms.

It's the wastes of the worms, microbes, and mushrooms, they release the nutrients in the liqidized plant matter, to the plants.

I don't have humumgus yeilds, or a steady supply of nutrients, like chemical slow release fertilizers, but I grow indicator plants, and the tomato plants themselves, tell me when they are low on a nutrient, by color changing.

Eventually, after several seasons of adding scrappe frappes and rabbit manure, as well as coconut coir (particlized coconut husks) the soil will start to keep a minimum fertility and water retention level.

A side note: Only people who pay for organic certification can say their food items are organic by law.

Uncertified growers are not supposed to use the term "organic."

This is so the growers that do pay for certification, have something worth paying for. To be certified, means they pay big bucks, to have inspectors come in, and verify that their growing methods meet or exceed the allowable organic standards.

These standards are shady in my book, as they consider factory farm animal manure, to be "organic", when most of these animals are fed GMO corn and alfalfa, as well as hormones, and antibiotics.

There are organic animal farms (Horizon organic milk dairies), where they could collect manure from animals, who have to be fed organic grain, and no antibiotics and no hormones, in order to be certified organic, However, these are still factory farmed animals living in misery every day.

There are other organic animal farms, that are humane and free range, and in those, the organic manures would be hard to collect, and are actually integrated into the farm, as natural fertilizer.

That's why I don't use commercial animal manures.

My rabbits use a potty, and the contents are put on my veggie, herb, and flower beds, even the lawn, but never in the root vegetable or tuber (potato) beds, which recieve plants & minerals only.

Wow! I can tell this is a subject that you feel strongly about. LOL. Thanks for all the great info.
