What's up everyone? We are back again with Bridget of San Diego Seed Company and today we're talking about the differences between a seed company that takes her approach which is an organic small scale approach and the conventional large scale growers and how they approach it.

And then we get into a little bit of a conversation about that whole dichotomy in general,

organic versus conventional, where we see trends going in the future.

And again, this is a little bit less practical than yesterday's episode, which was all about

how to save seeds, but I think it's still informative because all the little actions that we take as home gardeners also scale upwards

towards the general trends of society right so it does kind of matter that we think

about these things and I think that Bridgette is a fantastic person to talk to about this because not only does she know a lot about it

but she's actually living it every day

because this is her lifeblood, this is her business.

And so we're going to get into that.

It's a bit of a longer

episode. Hope you enjoy it. And as always if you're interested in natural

organic fertilizer you can check out our sponsors at gardenmaker.com. I highly

recommend the epic soil starter, but I recommend it because I did help create that mix.

It's designed to take a raised bed from just some standard topsoil and compost and get it

highly producing in your first season.

Okay, let's get into the episode.

So, okay, so then what would be the biggest differences

between a conventional C producer and something

that you guys do, your approach. What's the biggest contrast?

Well part of what is makes us so different is that we are so small. We are micro, you know, we are a micro seed company compared to others. And so,

although that we're not, we can't label organic on our packaging yet because we moved into our farm a year ago.
