   I grow just for myself using Sproutmasters. I clean
everything after I've grown them. Don't use soil,
just RO water. For regular plants I use vermi or
thermophilic. The only manure I use is green.

   I saw this quote in a story the Guardian wrote:
"Organic farms fell under suspicion in the investigation
because they do not use chemical fertilisers and put crops
at greater risk of contamination from bacteria in manure"

   And this from the Washington Post:
"Tests on about 1,100 samples, nearly 300 of them from the
farm, are ongoing in an effort to answer that question,
the ministry said, but they have produced no positive
results yet."
