Worried about sprays? And so you should. We all should. Eliminate

That's just our problem! In the UK we don't have that many

Well, it is not surprising that you do not have many organic
growers! It is
very difficult to become an organic grower because they are unable
(by
regulation) to use 'chemicals' that are harmful to the soil. The
rules of
organic farming makes it tough for farmers! They cannot just simply
plant
seeds and watch them grow. They are not allowed to use chemicals
that kill
all vegetation so they must find a way to do that on their
own...suppress
the weeds, eliminate them and still find time to plant. It is a
tough time
for them. But should they have the 'jam' to follow it through it
bodes well
for the future of vitamin rich produce.

Do you have access to experimental results which show that more
vitamins are found in organically grown vegetables than "ordinary"
vegetables? I thought the vitamins were made inside the vegetable.
