Organic?? I would like to know if it has any soil amendment benefits. I prefer to toss it out on my wooded lot, not bag it/trash it. Thx!!

I wouldn't do that. I tried it with plain non clumping kitty litter and it just piled up, never went anywhere and got nasty. I think it would actually wreck the land instead of help it.

I would think not. I think this litter gave my cat skin irritation, scabs, and an ear infection (plus coughing). It bothers me that there are no specific ingredients listed anywhere on the box. This leads me to suspect that, like Tidy Cat Lightweight, this may have multiple forms of crystalline silica in it--which is TOXIC. You'll be better off with World's Best.

I am an organic grower myself, and I have a friend that is a scientist at the USDA lab. Don't fool yourself, just because it has the USDA seal does not mean it's up to your organic standards. Very often organic farms use substances that are more dangerous than conventional pesticides and fertilizers. The USDA does not run everything through a GCMS, the company just has to meet certain standards, they can still lie about things. I bought this for my cosmetics business to do R&D;, and it is very good quality, so I am happy with it.

Since mine came from a large nursery I assume it had non organic fertilizer. No indication that it was organic. I would just inquire from the seller or contact the nursery.

Not bad at all. My front yard was apparently created some 40 years ago by some guy with a dump truck dumping a load of dirt, some other guy indifferently raking the dirt around, years of moles, city work crews and time digging, slumping, and in general just creating a semi-natural mess. Heck, it even included, at one time, for its careful leveling neighbors who invited their drunk friends over to drive on it (a time thankfully passed--Good Neighbors, now). So, my front yard is NOT "even ground". I like how the mower works on it. YMMV, but then I don't know how you want your lawn to look after mowing. Mine will never look like a putting green, but I neither expect or want it to.

Hi Rosebud, I have one in my frig right now but there in no information on it as to what it contains. I know for me it doesn't seem to work that well. I always recycle my vegetable bin often so it is not like I let things set for a long time. I was hoping this would help me with doing this less. I really don't see any major difference in the life of my produce. I am still looking to find a different replacement. If I remember from the original package that it may contain a charcoal type ingredient. I hope you will have better luck if you decide to buy it.

That's a really dumb question. How exactly do you genetically modify a chemical substance that has no organic origin? Its not all natural. Secondly, if you are that concerned about giving this to your dog, why are you seeking answers on Amazon rather than consulting with your vet?

Hi Mabel, I don't have the original bag anymore ( what soil I didn't use at the time I put into a resealable bag) so I can't tell you all the ingredients but I can tell you it feels and smell more like compost than potting soil you get with the little while foam in it. At first I wasn't sure about it but the results have been great, several of my plants had fallen on hard times and a few of them were ready to bite the dust but after a day of mixing old and new soil, cleaning pots,re-potting and placing cuttings in just the straight mix ( not mixed in with the old soil ) I've been VERY HAPPY with the results. Some of my plants have tripled in size in the last 4-5 months and cuttings are as full as their parents and living in a Manhattan apartment that's saying a lot. I hope you find this info helpful. RR

I'm for organic. Also one where we could add our own compost instead of fertilizer.

Yeah, it's just what they need and they won't lose the natural fungus and bacteria that break down organic material to produce more natural fertilizer. But I would make sure to dilute it very well. Most people burn by using too much. Keeping the soil consistently moist is most important for soil health and for seedlings

It does have a bad odor straight out of the bag, but once you've added it to your soil it's not noticeable at all. It's not a lingering odor in your garden/yard, if that's what you're concerned about. And I must say this product works very well; I definitely recommend it!

In my opinion, there is NO CHEMICAL that is organic. We , living on a farm, plant the bottom rows for the critters and the top rows for the humans. We don't spray our trees, even though our Government says it's safe. We may lose a little of our garden to pests, but with the help of certain plants, flowers and beer for the slugs, we survive. When I have an ant or other insect problem, I use Bifenthrin Multi-use because it's what the pros use. Organic -------------- probably not but you might contact the manufacture and ask them. Sorry, that is the best I can tell you. Good luck .

organic means organic farming: For example synthetic pesticides and all chemical fertilizers are prohibited. And there's a component to promote ecological balance and to conserve biodiversity. I think these are the common rules, since not all countries have the same set when it comes to "organic".In my humble opinion, the taste is not really different from non-organic tea (try a tomato or fruits in general and you'll notice more intense taste and smell). If done right, I take organic over non-organic for above reasons and am willing to pay a bit more for it.

Dear Elizabeth,Thank you for writing. Since oleander is highly toxic to humans and animals, you should not add it to your compost pile. It is also unsafe to burn it. You may wish to contact your local Cooperative Extension Service for advice on safe disposal of oleander.

Hi! I can tell you it is not certified organic, but I'm an organic grower and I understand our concern; you can check with your licensing/ federal groups and 1) if you sell less than I believe $500/ yr u need not be certified and 2) it is not always possible to find organically grown trees etc, after a period of time your practices will,determine if the fruit is organic. Please check to determine the length of time. As I'm sure you know avocados are not prolific for a number of years; it may be sufficient to overcome the growers lack of organic. I do want to tell you that both the haas and the Fuentes I received were beautiful; better than local nursery trees. Both trees have young fruit on them now. The haas is excellent it has not even really dropped leaves of any significance. The Fuentes ont the other hand does have fruit but has dropped a significant number of leaves to the point that I'm actually concerned and am going to contact the grower. If you find that I am correct and that afire a point with a young tree & ur organic growing habits you can be certified I would highly recommend these trees. Truly wonderful. I'd love to know how you do. If you have further questions I'm more than happy to provide u with any information I can. Farm on and organic is the only way to love the earth. Best to you, Lynda

I have no definitive answer for this question, but I suspect it is just natural. I would expect organic to be much more expensive.

I use it daily and I am very sensitive to chemicals and pesticides and I have no problem with it. thus, I feel it is truly organic. It is very fine pwoder so it dissolves quickly in juice/water. It gives me energy.
