Organic Gardening? I'm so confused.

I've found it upsets the leaves on some plants. I only use it for Red Spider,. and then it is more important to kill the spider than worry about the leaves! I wash it off the leaves after a few hours - but I apply every day / every other day, both above and below the leaves (its a contact pesticide, not systemic) until the infection is cured.

Can't remember how much I use ... I have to Google it every time I use it, which is only about once a year, or less.

I wouldnt put chemicals all over my chips so I dont put them all over the soil.

Was talking to the old farmer next door today as he popped over while we were in the veggie plot, discussed slugs and fertilisers. Was disappointed to find out some of the neighbours spray Roundup around their spuds despite his warnings, he's been in the farming game all his life and being about 70 has seen before pesticides, the wild abandon they were used with under communism and the 90's & early 00's and now the winding down spraying less years. He lives off his own food, doesnt spray but uses slug pellets. Grow a lot of Rapeseed around here, doesnt seem to be much heavy spraying and the bee populations are high so its a good sign.
