Is there any pesticide available that's not carcinogenic? I stopped using any of them years ago after my then 5 y/o son was diagnosed with a soft-tissue cancer.

To this day, we don't know what caused his cancer, but there's no ornamental or food crop that I'll use any chemicals on. My tomatoes and peppers are doing fine - I choose disease resistant (mostly heirloom) varieties.



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

My husband’s been doing organic gardening for the last several years. I’ve been composting for 26 years. The soil is great, plants healthy enough that we can enjoy what food we get out of our little garden. He has gone natural all the way; and I’ve been astounded he agreed to it.
