Do Organic Growers Use ‘Hazmat’ Suits? [View all] HuckleB Mar 2016 OP

I don't OkSustainAg Mar 2016 #1

Internet claims are worthless, as are anecdotes. HuckleB Mar 2016 #3

I have shown OkSustainAg Mar 2016 #5

So your claims are not peer reviewed, nor replicated. HuckleB Mar 2016 #7

300 bushels of corn per acre, people could grow their own if zoning/neighborhood Ass. didn't ban it. Sunlei Mar 2016 #8

Another unsupported claim. HuckleB Mar 2016 #9

front yard crops Sunlei Mar 2016 #11

My garden is in the front yard. HuckleB Mar 2016 #13

Thats not allowed, its a crime in most neighborhoods across America. Lawns only. Sunlei Mar 2016 #14

Too many tomatoes. HuckleB Mar 2016 #15

that's pretty good for a front yard. If you had 50 tomato plants used an entire average front yard, Sunlei Mar 2016 #16

I only have six. HuckleB Mar 2016 #17

I grow 30 tomato plants every year Drahthaardogs Mar 2016 #57

Too many rats in Chicago. I got 2 tomatoes last year from 3 plants. AngryAmish Mar 2016 #38

My dogs,Jack russell and another mix, rats & any ground varmints don't have a chance here. Sunlei Mar 2016 #39

Ah, yeah. It could be the cat that helps for us. HuckleB Mar 2016 #43

I don't have a problem with animals eating my tomatoes, so I can't help you. HuckleB Mar 2016 #41

Then more neighborhoods need to be like yours. As it is, either zoning or the HOA Recursion Mar 2016 #79

Yeah, I'm lucky, I guess. HuckleB Mar 2016 #81

Most yards are far, far smaller than an acre REP Mar 2016 #21

Are you really trying to ruin that fantasy? HuckleB Mar 2016 #24

Sorry. REP Mar 2016 #25

Well, I'm not cutting down my trees, either. HuckleB Mar 2016 #27

But if you took down your trees, razed your house REP Mar 2016 #29

I'd have all kinds of corn, at the same time I can buy ears dirt cheap. HuckleB Mar 2016 #33

true, grow stuff that is expensive in the stores. I have raspberries, blackberries and table grapes. Sunlei Mar 2016 #44

Yeah, that's why I do lots of different "specialty" peppers, especially. HuckleB Mar 2016 #45

your chickens would eat the corn, they love it :) Sunlei Mar 2016 #40

I realize yards are smaller but I want people to know even a small yard can produce enough. Sunlei Mar 2016 #26

That assumes a lot REP Mar 2016 #28

start small with 10 "hills" and a pack of seeds and one doesn't need any of that other stuff Sunlei Mar 2016 #31

Some of that list would be a one time thing though. Lancero Mar 2016 #59

You wouldn't even need that much space Major Nikon Mar 2016 #42

Is insecticidal soap or horticultural oil "poison" to anything besides insects? Major Nikon Mar 2016 #53

Totally different if you're a farmer... Buddyblazon Mar 2016 #70

+1,000 ... 000 ... 000 HuckleB Mar 2016 #71

The organic raspberry farm I get my berries from here in NM womanofthehills Mar 2016 #73

Yeah, and nothing else. HuckleB Mar 2016 #78

Bwa ha ha. That OP screed has been so completely debunked. AxionExcel Mar 2016 #2

Yes, you are wasting our time. HuckleB Mar 2016 #4

I'm sure OCA, NaturalNews, and Mercola all have the scoop on it Major Nikon Mar 2016 #34

His/her favorite today: Henry Rowlands. HuckleB Mar 2016 #37

part of it is to keep from getting soaked & having to work outside dripping wet from head to toe Sunlei Mar 2016 #6

They sure do... SidDithers Mar 2016 #10

Some do; it helps with some of the fertilizers especially Recursion Mar 2016 #12

14 FACTS THE ORGANIC INDUSTRY DOESN’T WANT YOU TO KNOW HuckleB Mar 2016 #18

I use insecticidal soap in my greenhouse; you wouldn't want a face full of it REP Mar 2016 #19

Yup. HuckleB Mar 2016 #20

Most people don't get the difference between hobby gardens and industrial food production pediatricmedic Mar 2016 #22

But everyone's yard is at least an acre! REP Mar 2016 #23

They could but corns inexpensive. I got 400 dozen eggs a year off a quarter acre :P Sunlei Mar 2016 #30

True and discussions of that would be far more helpful than flamebait Gormy Cuss Mar 2016 #32

Sure, because this is just so much more mature and insightful Major Nikon Mar 2016 #35

Both you and the OP responded in that thread at length Gormy Cuss Mar 2016 #46

...and you refrained from pointing out the lack of maturity of that obvious flamebait OP Major Nikon Mar 2016 #48

So unless one comments in all absurd threads, one can't comment in any? Gormy Cuss Mar 2016 #49

The ones chosen to comment on is very telling Major Nikon Mar 2016 #52

I avoided that thread for much of the day. HuckleB Mar 2016 #51

Okay,, I'll address why I called it flamebait. Gormy Cuss Mar 2016 #54

That poster has a long history of promoting anti-GMO stances. HuckleB Mar 2016 #55

No, my history is that I'm pro-GMO labeling. Gormy Cuss Mar 2016 #62

No difference, unless you want labeling for all types of seed development technology. HuckleB Mar 2016 #67

Labelling products from all seeds would be acceptable. Gormy Cuss Mar 2016 #76

And that's because organic and non-GMO marketers are lying. HuckleB Mar 2016 #77

Yeah, it's horrible to point out that ludicrous anti-GMO memes are ludicrous. HuckleB Mar 2016 #36

I thought they worse that stuff, no matter what industry, for their own safety. Rex Mar 2016 #47

Plus, it looks cool. HuckleB Mar 2016 #50

Do organic farmers send creepy obscenity-laden DU mails? U4ikLefty Mar 2016 #56

Awesome! HuckleB Mar 2016 #58

Wait, you mean the personality disorders of Big-Agra shills U4ikLefty Mar 2016 #60

Wow! Now, you're promoting stigma for people with mental illness. HuckleB Mar 2016 #61

I don't equate mental illness with being an asshole with no boundaries. U4ikLefty Mar 2016 #63

Hypocrisy is a funny thing. HuckleB Mar 2016 #64

Guess you saw hypocrisy in the mirror. nt U4ikLefty Mar 2016 #65

I know you are, but what am I? HuckleB Mar 2016 #66

Already back to the third grade ROFL smileys? You must be out of bullets. U4ikLefty Mar 2016 #68

That's so cute. HuckleB Mar 2016 #69

Wow - it seems like your main interest in life is womanofthehills Mar 2016 #74

Wow -- it seems like your main interest in life is HuckleB Mar 2016 #75

Hey, what do you think about anti-GMO memes that are this deceitful? HuckleB Mar 2016 #83

Do anti-GMOers always push fictions and logical fallacies? HuckleB Mar 2016 #72

Back when I had an apiary my suit was even scarier Recursion Mar 2016 #80

Well, I hope you got pics! HuckleB Mar 2016 #82
