Organic ways to get rid of spider mites on tomato plants ??
Q. My tomatoes are doing great but a spider mite infestation has developed. I like to keep things organic and I'm having trouble getting information on ways to deter spider mites on tomatoes. I've heard that diatomaceous earth or salt water work through severe dehydration of the insects, will this also cause the tomatoes to shrivel and dehydrate? Does garlic water work well against spider mites?

A. Using Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth, mix in spray bottle with some water, spray your plant, when the powder is dry on the plant when the mites come in contact with it, it cuts them and that is how the dehydrate. Your plant will be perfectly fine problem solved. Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is one of the worlds best kept secrets. I give it to my dog as well as my son and myself and have nothing but good things to say about it. I don't know about Garlic water and Salt Water and plants just don't go together. DE is the way to go! You can find at www.freshwaterorganics.co m they call it food grage DE or Fossil Shell Flour.

How can I keep my organic apples fresh?
Q. I bought granny smith organic apples two days ago and they're starting to turn brown already! Is this normal for organic fruits and how can I keep them fresher, longer? Thank you!
Asked by Megbee - Sun Sep 7 15:11:53 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. No this is not normal for organic fruits bought fresh from the farmers market. Either you bought fruit from a reseller and not from a real farmer/grower that was not fresh at all or you bought damaged fruit from a grower that is selling dropped fruit. granny smith apples if harvested and handled well after harvest should last 2 to 3 weeks outside of refrigeration and even longer if refrigerated. To keep your apples fresh keep them in the fridge and use them ASAP since they are damaged. Organic foods do not last less time simply because they are organically grown and have no preservatives put on them. Very fed fruits and veggies have a post harvest handling preservative put on them other than some fruits like cucumbers and roots like… [cont.]

Whats the difference between natural and organic?
Q. I have always wondered this??? I know organic means no chemicals were used to grow or sprayed on products. But what is the difference between an apple right from the tree and an organic apple?

A. It is nice you asked Erica, although many people may view both words similairly. I assure you they have different intended meanings. Natural - is naturally occurring. Nature normally produces or occurs whatever it is. Not to say man doesn't enhance natural occurrences for their benefit. (Like agriculture) Example: A tree is natural. Organic - can mean food stock grown without any fertilizers yes. The word organic can be used to also refer to healthy or living. You could refer to eggs as organic because of lack of pesticides, But also your lifestyle because you eat and live in a healthy manor. Ex: This brocolli is organic. =D (Keep in mind because brocolli is a normal occurance, this special brocolli would be both natural and… [cont.]
