Ugh, this is depressing. i only just learned about this this week. My garden has developed serious disease issues. So for me I need 'chemicals" to really be able to continue growing. It's so depressing to work so hard to grow things and then just have them die in front of you. Gardening also saves us a ton of money on food.
But I have small children and I really don't want to expose them to any unnecessary risk either. :/ I have avidly avoided non organic methods for decades primarily for health reasons. But it's just not working anymore. And it's not like my options are just give up gardening, something I love more than just about anything else and buy organic food. I can't afford to only buy organic food. So if I don't grow it I'm just buying what someone else sprayed.
