Could someone tell me please the point of 'organic' seed? Surely it's

But think of all those harmful chemicals contained in that seed that
would be transmitted in the mature veg consumer.
Assuming you go along with the Homeopathy that 1 part in a million can

What an eedgit.


Buying organic veg seed is a way to support its producers in
organic agriculture, which is an ethical preference for many.

Other organic seed producers are smaller-scale businesses who
can offer more unusual and Heritage seeds. Thomas Etty is an example.
