ANSWER: Miracle Grow has an organic fertilizer.  

Organic chia seed (or any other plant or seed) is grown under sustainable conditions - no chemicals in the soil, no herbicides that are chemical, and no pesticides that are chemical.  If a product is grown organically you are supporting a sustainable planet.  Chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides create a nightmare of chemical dependence.

QUESTION: I heard that Chia seeds do not need pesticide/herbicide
to grow because of its natural protection, therefore, no need to buy Cert.organic products which is much higher in price.  Pls advise if this is the case. Thanks.

Answer
You are not just buying certified organic products, you are supporting a sustainable way of life.  Chemicals do not sustain the earth, their use pollutes the water tables, poisons beneficial insects, and we end up eating the chemicals that end up in our food, which manifest within our bodies as cancers and other diseases. Chemical production of food is not sustainable, the soil becomes toxic and pests are able to attack weakened plants, which calls for chemical pesticides.  A healthy soil equals a healthy plant.  With proper planting techniques, like inter-cropping, insects are deterred.  For more information on organic soil building and sustainability, please visit our website:  www.avant-gardening.com
