Why plant with organic seedlings? (featured on Kora Organics)

A great question that many people have … why bother with organic seedlings, are they not all the same? The plants at the hardware or supermarket are much cheaper.
Well it DOES make a difference in many ways – and not just for  the obvious “organic” reason either.
Making a decision to start an organic vegetable garden is a fantastic one. No chemicals, pesticides, fungicides etc. You will know exactly what is going onto your food and to me that is a very comforting thing.
Organic seedlings are grown using organic seeds, seeds that have not been treated, altered or tampered with. They are raised using organic inputs and do not rely on artificial stimulants to get them going. Organic seedlings are stronger and can hold their own in your garden without needing artificial inputs to keep them alive. For seeds or seedlings to be classified as certified they must adhere to regulations set out by our various organic certifiers.
Our seedlings at Ready 2 plant organics are not raised in a heated nursery so they are sun hardened and will not die when you plant them in your garden – they are raring to go. They have not been treated with any synthetic fertilisers and will flourish in your own garden.
Buying non – organic seedlings you are supporting farmers that spray and contaminate our world – why not support organic farmers who are committed to our environment and our health. Conventional (non – organic) seeds come from conventional plants that contain a chemical component, why would you put that into your beautiful organic garden?
Buy organic seedlings and start your garden off onto the right foot.
I feel very strongly about planting seedlings that are GMO free, pesticide free, untreated, healthy and strong. I get so many comments about our seedlings at Ready 2 plant Organics along the lines of “Your plants actually grow” …. Well they should and they do.
If you wish to have an organic garden, start with organic seedlings and end up with gorgeous organic food that you will feel safe eating.

Have a fantastic week Everyone,
