The chemical challenge

My wife once made the comment, "well we grow an organic garden...right?"

I pointed at the water in the canal and said, "as organic as the chemicals in that water."

We are all wary of the wand spraying chemical truck in the neighborhood, but what about the household cleaning chemicals going down the drain? What about the oil, grease and gasoline on the roads running into the drains and into our water supply?

Trying to avoid chemical exposure is virtually impossible. So what do we do?

Filtering water is very important. I actually filter the water coming into my Garden Kart to insure I'm starting with something clean to begin with.

I also avoid many household cleaners that have worse warning labels than common pesticides.

It's important to think of the source of where everything is coming from when avoiding chemicals.
