Is this a good non toxic choice for watering an organic garden?

It's some sort of plastic and aluminum I think. My garden is organic but I don't try for certification but I can't see where it would be much different than a hose as far as non toxic goes. You have to adjust the strength of the spray at the faucet and one of the four I bought started leaking badly after a few months. About average quality for this type of product

I have been less than impressed with this nozzle due to the lack of definition/difference in several of the sprayers. They spray water very much in the same manner, and they are all harsh sprays and are unsuitable for most needs.

I would imagine being made in the USA these would be the least toxic. I use mine regularly with sensitive indoor house plants

Absolutely. It's rated as food safe. After having used it for two years, I'm fairly confident that it's safe for my garden.

I alternated it with organic fertilizer and it seemed to work well. I don't think it's for acid loving plants. I am sold on it, though. It really made a difference in my vegetable garden last year.

Yes, it's ok for organic gardening. Try not to spray in the morning or when bees are active, as it will kill them, too. Late evenings most of the bees have gone back to the hive, many blossoms close up at night. Avoid spraying into blossoms. Oil does not mix with water alone, you must mix it with dish soap first, then add water. Amounts are on the label. 2 TBs = 1 oz. I use at least 1 part soap to 2 parts neem, often 1:1 neem and soap. Warm water to mix is ok, but not hot. Shake spray bottle often while using, to keep it mixed well.

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.

Never drink out of a garden hose. Do the research, there are numerous chemicals in all their linings:http://ideas.time.com/2012/08/02/is-your-garden-hose-toxic/

Absolutely yes. It is non-toxic. It does not kill bugs it just repels them.

According to this website:http://web.extension.illinois.edu/blmp/news/news27553.htmlIt is perfectly safe for vegetable gardens. I used the product last year around my herb garden and everything came out fine.

The ingredients are listed as: clarified Hydrophobic 0.9%, and other ingredients 99.1%, so that isn't much information. But, since it does say "for Organic gardening", I would assume it's safe................hope this helps..................happy gardening On the back of my container, it says; call 1-800-257-3379, if you have any questions/comments.

I use this in my organic garden and I have never had seed issues from using this straw. However I do have weed problems from my neighbor not clearing his property but still no weeds in my barrels.

I don't really know the answer to this however, without sounding pompous..if it works well & is the best for removing lead, cyst, chlorine & other contaminants for people consummation it should definitely be excellent for plants!

As far as I know it is safe. I have used it for a few years and continue to have butterflies,bees and hummingbirds. It works great if you don't have time to water on a regular basic.

I just called the company customer service because I had the same question, and they said the inner lining of the hose is made of silica and the outer is made of nylon. This is not written anywhere on the packaging. He didn't have a manufacturer number to give me. He assured me that this is true. I wouldn't drink from it but if what he said is true, then it's probably ok for the veggie garden. Although it IS made in China...

No. The chelating agent is likely Fe-EDTA, which is not only slightly toxic, but is only effective at low ph, making it useless for aquaponics. What you need is Fe-DTPA, which is effective up to 7.5 ph; or the more expensive Fe-EDDHA which is effective up to 9 ph. For a system around a 100g or less, 8 to 16 oz will last you years. I bought 16 oz for 19.95 with free shipping. Be careful, I ran across one listed as DTPA that said EDTA in the description, and nothing about use in aquaponics.

You can simply throw this filter away. It doesn't use any toxic materials or anything that would be considered harmful to organic life. The filter is mostly made out of foam, paper, and activated charcoal.

I have no idea but since it is made from Brass i would think it would be ok. No lead in Brass. I would assume any garden hose connection would be for potable water.
