I wonder if anyone could tell me what is considered "organic". I use
Safer's insecticidal soap, with just pyrethrins. That, I know, is
considered organic. But what about the other stuff... the ins. soap that
also has the other thing in it, I think it's piperonyl butoxide? Well,
another company, Concern, makes this. Is it also okay for organic
gardeners? And by the way, nothing I've done so far has gotten rid of the
flea beetles. They kill even the kholrabi seedlings. I only have about 8
kholrabi plants that made it into a size that would survive the f.b.'s.
