Post by: divemaster1963 on June 26, 2014, 12:51:09 PM
Check out this report about pesticides in garden centers around the country and Canada.

It's ashame that this is still not being talked about at the EPA.

This was shown on good morning America in the rolling banner.

I also see that there was other post on other reports on the same thing. This one is the original report.

Happy to see the original report - thank you!  I'm also going to post a link to a list of seed companies that are organic certified and committed to open pollinated/non-GMO business models.  Another company I like to work with is Seed Savers Exchange and they didn't make the list.  Happy gardening, everyone!  Sue

The case is a little overstated but then anything with Friends of Earth discussing pesticides is going to be a hatchet job.  Let us talk about toxic levels not  beyond civilization in the  pristine Himalayas!  Which neighbors are we going to choose to starve to death without chemicals.  Sevin is ten times the actual threat and Homo Depot pushes it constantly.   I use as little as possible and everyone else should to.
