Organic gardening and farming has two aspects. Which is more vital?
1 Avoid the negatives. Don't use synthetic chemicals and don't harm wildlife
2 Embrace the positives. Create healthy soil for healthy plants and people. Increase wildlife.

Language and words are important. The word organic is loosely used to describe even manures with poisons, or products which are no more health-giving than many others.
I emphasise the value of creating infectious health.
