I don't know about others Steve, but I am not strictly "Organic" now and
have no intention of becoming so in the forseeable future. Not that I
wouldn't like to, but in my particular situation, I do not have now, nor do
I see in the future, a viable option. Reduction of chemical usage to the
lowest level you can live with is about all that can be expected. What
that level is for each of us must be determined at the personal level.

But we each need to strive for a lower level and not use them
indiscriminately.
