When growing vegetables, if you give them plant food does that not qualify them as being organic?

by Tricia

Is a plant food (such as miracle grow) considered a chemical when growing the plants?

Plant foods such as Miracle Gro are considered chemical fertilizers and definitely not organic. Compost, fish emulsion, kelp are a few of the numerous things used to feed the plants and soil in an organic garden.

    If you use miracle grow or any other chemical it is no longer organic. There are some great organic fertilizers on the market.
