Well said John. We had all this in urg not very long ago but some posters
are like a dog with a bone.

Personally, I am as 'organic' or 'inorganic' as I want to be, both in my
garden and in my every day life. I neither expect nor want people to impose
their ideas on me and I don't criticise them for their beliefs. Much the
same way as I feel about politics, religion, hunting and a thousand etcs.

Live and let live is my motto, but obviously some here have not heard of
this.
