Organic is by far best, especially in the veg garden.
Tho, I must confess to using the occassional herbicide on the rest of the garden
I have bought organic veg for yonks and now if I really must buy non-organic, I am so aware that I often go without
This year I have noticed that my veg garden has (thus far) very little in the way of pest damage I also notice that the two bird families are constantly in there bug-picking! Yay! Bonus
They do help themselves to the berryfruit as their reward however... old fashioned cage comming up for next season I think...
After a few years of no-spray and lots of compost the garden appears to be finding its' own balance...and I have Ladybirds!
Would I go back to handfuls of artificial fertiliser and buckets of bug spray? No way!

How fabulous to hear herbs have been helpful to you and your family.
I have never used them for anything except making my boring cooking taste better
It appears our plants can benefit us in many ways, from the pleasure of their scent and beauty to their medicinal uses. I'm sure there is much for us to learn if we look around
Thats the great thing about gardening, there is always something new happening for you to discover

5 Jan '06 5:27 pm Yes,there is always new thing for us to learn everyday even you are a kid or a 60 years old person.
Me and my mum still take this herbs everyday before breakfast it help a lot of backache,legache.My mum she used to got high Cholestoral(I don't know I spell it right or not) in her blood she went to the hospital and the doctor gave the medicine and control the food to control and make the Chorestoral lower but there is nothing the result for the blood checking after took the medicine and control food for three months the result still at the same high.
Then my mum she started to took the powder herbs with real wild honey mixed them together and made the littie ball and took as the medicine after three month the blood check result came out that the chorestoral become lower.
That's what I would like to tell the people.Every people can be strong the sickness can be gone if you treatment in the right way.
Don't hestitate to ask me if you have question about the herbs.
I am not selling herb I just want to give the advise to help the people.

11 Jan '06 5:10 pm Herb remedies are awesome. I love the arnica cream I use on my fingers each night - just in case they get too sore. It's better than nothing, and its natural.
I also notice that the two bird families are constantly in there bug-picking! Yay! Bonus
