So how do we grow anyway? Our certified organic plants are grown in an organic compost based soil mix from a certified organic soil company. We only add approved organic fertilizers or more compost as needed. Pests are controlled with beneficial insect releases on a regular basis and approved pest controls when needed. While the regulations are very strict and we are inspected annually, we are happy to promote organic practices, not to mention we find that the plants grow better this way. Our conventionally grown plants utilize the same soil and pest pro- gram and may differ in some fertilizers applied. We use no residual pesticides or plant growth regulators.
