Default Definition of "Organic"

What is the definition of an "Organic" garden? Is it just sans pesticides,
or add only certain things to the garden? And to have an "Organic" garden,
is there a certification?


There is much to organic gardening and farming. Look at the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture page at

http://www.gov.on.ca/OMAFRA/english/...027.htm#define for some

idea of what is involved.

The United States Department of Agriculture has a similar definition, but I do
not know its address. Pat, I think you had this.
