Are the seeds non-GMO and is the fertilizer completely organic? I want a 100% organic and GMO-free garden. Please let me know if that is what you're providing with the kit.

I've decided not to buy this because Miracle Gro is owned by Scotts and they are owned by Monsanto, the world's leading GMO producer and distributer. http://thescottsmiraclegrocompany.com/aboutus/our_business.html. As an organic gardener and consumer, I just can't support these businesses with my money. I was disappointed, because it really looks like it would be fun, but I'm going to keep looking for something else. We vote with our dollars, and I vote for non-GMO, organic food.

"1998 - Monsanto: Scotts entered into a collaboration with the Monsanto Company to bring the benefits of biotechnology to the multi-billion dollar turfgrass and ornamental plants business. Under the agreement, Scotts and Monsanto agree to share technologies, including Monsanto's extensive genetic library of plant traits and Scotts' proprietary gene gun technology to produce improved transgenic turfgrasses and ornamental plants."Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scotts_Miracle-Gro_Company#Mergers_and_acquisitions

If you don't like this one I found this on EBAY not to sure if it works or not BUT it might be something people might like to get around GMO http://www.ebay.com/itm/Smart-Garden-Aquaponics-System-Hydroponic-Agricultural-Aquaculture-/111121833855?pt=US_Hydroponics&hash=item19df609f7f... Or just buy a used one and use what ever type of seeds and fertilizers you want...

Thank you J. Ashers! Now that I know, I will never purchase anything from Miracle Grow ever again! Just as I refuse to shop in the low paying, big box stores which cost we Americans more than I can begin to explain in this small space, nor do I buy anything from China! It is long past time that we Americans use our dollars to keep Koch's, Exxon, and other RW corps from destroying our health and democracy.

While it's unlikely that the seeds and fertilizers aren't non-GMO and that the fertilizer isn't organic, this system certainly could be made to be both of those things by using the "make your own" system accessories provided by the company. This isn't going to satisfy people who are anti-monsanto, but if you want to be "healthier" and can bear to give a corporation your money, this is still a well designed product.

For those below...Scotts is NOT owned by Monsanto, they are their distributor for Round-Up. Scott's fertilizers and lawn-care products are their own and are primarily developed in Marysville, Ohio - near where I have lived most of my life. And to my knowledge, their products do not involve any Genetic Modification (I am familiar with their processes and the ingredients they use).

Hi Tom, thanks for your interest in our seeds. The seeds are organic heirloom seeds, non gmo, non hybrid, open pollinated...they aren't USDA certified.

That's strange. My packet of seeds is exactly as depicted, including the information "No GMOs." I'd request an explanation or replacement packet, to be sure.

Terri, I was wondering this myself before purchasing. This is the answer they give on their website regarding GMOs. Are your products genetically modified? No. All of our products originate from identity-preserved, non-GMO seeds. This means that the seed planted in the ground is non-GMO. We do not guarantee the complete absence of GMO materials in our products because of wind drift, pollinators and our lack of testing equipment.

hi i looked up on their website and the flax seeds are certified organic and non-gmo. i have used this brand for years and i find it to be the best available. a little bit more expensive than other brands, but, well worth it.

If it doesn't say organic on the label, then its not. If it doesn't say non GMO on the label, then its GMO. Organic means no pesticides and non GMO. Non GMO obviously means non GMO. They way they have chosen to market this item makes it seem as if it is a GMO product that has not been grown with pesticides.

Yes fox farm is gmo free. Very good product when it comes to organic gardening. All components including other products are made from natural sources in nature. If you'd like there are more products each serving different purposes into the growth of a healthy plant.

Jill, it is not organic and no mention of GMO. When I buy the next time this will be something I will make sure of.

I called the folks at Great River @ 1-608-687-9580 and asked that very question; the representative responded that it was indeed certified non-GMO, stating that in order for it to be organic it must first be GMO-free. I have used an entire bag of this corn and we love 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.

The package says USDA Organic. By definition, that implies non-GMO soybeans. I really love this product because it's so high in protein and has all the benefits of soy.

NOT ORGANIC. I contacted the grower (fairviewfarms.com), here is part from his reply: "We is not certified or stamped organic, we are non-gmo." " We do use a grass control product before planting". I can guess what is their "grass control product". I would prefer to avoid this product at any cost. I buy Organic soybean in Whole Foods bulk section for about $2.20/lb, if you buy a 25 lb bag you get 10% off.

Well now, that's true. I still have a bag in my cabinets so I went and grabbed it. It claims to be planted with NON GMO corn seed. It also says "Organic Popcorn", and under INGREDIENTS LIST it says..100% natural, Non GMO, Certified Organic Popcorn. Something else which looks to say Certified...but is missing was printed on bag, my suggestion is for you to go to www.greatnorthernpopcorn.com and ask...as I will. Good catch!

To the very best of my knowledge this product is non GMO. Why? Two reasons. It is certified "organic". According to GMOawareness.com the US and Canadian governments do not allow a food to be labeled as "100% Certified Organic" if it contains genetically modified foods. Reason number 2. This product is also certified "Kosher". You can see the documents on their website amazinggrass.com. Kosher certification means that there is nothing gross in your food. Hope that helps. :)

Yes and yes! That is why I purchased them. I wanted to start a Non-GMO garden and be able to sell the plants and seeds myself. Almost all the seeds I have planted in my small greenhouse have germinated.

It is organic. I believe then it should be non GMO. But I am not 100% sure.

Thank you for answering...but as far as i know organic does not mean it is also GMO, right?
