Gardeners occasionally need a little help in battling plant pests, diseases and weeds. IF you reach for a product, do you use only strictly organic, prefer something organic or natural, follow IPM least toxic guidelines, or do you have no preference and just want something that will do the job? Or maybe you find these distinctions a little confusing. Let's see where we are .... please vote and then check the results!

I strictly use ONLY certified organic products. (1 vote, 4.55%)




I prefer organic or natural but am not 100% strict. (12 vote, 54.55%)




No preference: organic, natural, chemical, whatever is fine. (1 vote, 4.55%)
