No wonder Diana hated the royals.

Chuck's wife, Trigger, could possibly donate some manure for the cause.

Water's a chemical, just how far does he want to go with this idiocy?

Now why would you say such a mean thing about Camilla?

'Cause I can't post pictures.

That's a little harsh but it does seem that Chuck isn't wrapped very tightly.

He is certainly welcome to experiment all he wants on the acreage he owns, and good luck to him. And good luck explaining it to his mum, who will probably not be amused.

I have never been able to get the picture out of my mind of Charles roaming the castle in his arabic garb. When he whips out that prayer rug, it will complete the image.

Can anyone say *Irish potato famine*? You've got to control disease and pests somehow. What good is raising everything organic, when the crops fail and you are forced to buy non-organic produce from overseas?

Man, that's a cool shot. It looks like they're singing along with Paul Anka's "Diana".

Paul Anka's "DIANA"? That's so cruel (LOL).

The Prince of Wales wants Britain to be transformed into an "organic oasis" with no chemicals used on any crops -even at the cost of imposing trade barriers and pulling out of the European Union (EU).

Is that guy a nut? GB is a damp place and grains and veggies will rot pretty quick if not chemically protected.

I guess they could go back to having famines in the year following dampness at harvest time.

Doesn't necessarily follow. In fact the growing conditions here are just about optimum, without major fungal disease problems, for a very wide range of vegetables and soft fruit, including all brassicas, nearly all leaf crops and roots (potatoes excepted), most legumes except the subtropical beans, and some grains (barley). Among the widely-grown crops the main exceptions I can think of are potatoes (blight), curcubits and the 'fruiting' vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, aubergines etc - but here these are mostly grown under glass anyway), some soft fruit (particularly strawberries) and wheat, which really prefers lower humidity.

I grow all my own vegetables and fruit, and I find I grow more or less organically not out of conviction or because the results taste better (which, for the most part, they do!): but simply because that with my local soil and climate chemical inputs are rarely necessary.

Of course, I wouldn't extrapolate my own conditions as a small grower to the very different requirements of large-scale commercial production: but even there, I think that you'll find that in the widely-grown crops, with the exceptions I've mentioned, the chemical inputs are predominantly for yield and pest control rather than fungal disease control related to damp.
