I’m not an organic gardener but I haven’t needed to use pesticides or inorganic fertilizer in years. My strategy is abundance, tolerance and biodiversity. I always plant enough flowers and veggies for a few pests to share and if they chew a few holes in a leaf or two I take comfort knowing I’m just fattening them up for my predatory friendly ones. If however I’m having a really bad day, I might nuke them with every chemical known to man and regret it in the morning. It’s the farmer in me. When planting thousands of acres of mono-culture small grains as I have, it’s how things are done or go broke. I’ll be the first to admit the system is flawed and that subsidies fuel the beast.

I’m organic. I’m also lazy (sort of). Interplanting and diversity and a bit of tolerance has meant I’ve not treated for much of anything for several years.
I grow tomatoes, peppers, peas, eggplant, broccoli, swiss chard, asparagus, beets, ground cherries, kale, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, carrots, lettuce, pumpkins, summer and winter squashes, a variety of herbs, 5 different tree fruits, potatoes, corn, and I’m probably forgetting something….
We raise all kinds of veggies and they are all organic. We seldom get any bug damage, what there is is minimal. There is no need to put chemicals on a garden as long as it is balanced. Different kinds of plants, flowers, veggies, herbs and some natural plants for your area. This keeps the bug population balanced, the predator bugs eat the ones that damage the plants. Also, it keeps birds around the garden and they eat the bugs. Works great.
We have raised our vegetable and lawn organically for over 25 years. For the flower beds we use Osmocote or Miracle grow occasionally. We don’t use any chemicals on the lawn and it usually looks great. There is more than just grass growing out there but who cares? We use all of our grass clippings for mulch or compost them.
It’s not that we are raging environmentalists or anything, It’s just how we choose to garden.
