It's always more convenient to be able to buy that stuff in the local big box store than to search it out from obscure locations all over the internet.

Then, at the other end, a lot of the folks who are deeply committed to organic products have a pretty DIY approach and so they are using their home compost pile and other home-made supplements rather than buying any products at all. <br /><br />However, all the forecasts I see show organics continuing to gradually take over share from conventionals, so we try to keep the line healthy even though it's currently not a big money maker.Darwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572976822786862149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-62843946672399223352013-05-06T12:39:53.521-04:002013-05-06T12:39:53.521-04:00So what is your company's take on organic prod...So what is your company's take on organic products? Do they see it as a fad to ignore or the wave of the future?<br /><br />At my house, my husband does all of our lawn and garden work--no outsourcing here. He strives to use completely organic methods in the yard and believes in encouraging mainstream companies to grow their organic lines by buying their organic products. <br /><br />There are some people in the organic movement who believe in boycotting companies that produce any type of non-organic product, but my husband thinks that is nuts. How are you going to get more people to use organics if the big companies don't make them?Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507330852895229468noreply@blogger.com
