Default Did you know that animal products are systematically used to grow organic fruits...

...and vegetables? One of the concerns vegans have with organic farming, however, is the widespread use of dried animal blood, bone meal, manure fertilizers, and other animal-based soil enhancers. They are unpleasant to handle, often harbor intestinal, parasitic, and other diseases, may contain antibiotic and other drug residues, and are highly acidic and therefore may require heavier applications of dolomite or lime.

Successful veganic gardening is to do it yourself, it may reequire a bit of research, creativity, strategizing, and hard work, but your efforts will yield safe, compassionate, and nutritious results!

What do you think of that?

Sorry. I didn't read your question as I was too entranced by how incredibly beautiful you are.

I'm already growing some edible flowers and herbs in my apartment, but there are many things you just can't do realistically in each person's situation... though I've certainly toyed with the idea of planting a lemon tree in a huge pot in my living room. I wonder what the landlords would say about that?
