Non Organic Veggies planted next to Organic Veggies
When non organic veggies are planted next to Organic Veggies do the non organic vegetables or their flower blooms cross contaminate the organic vegetables turning them into non organic vegetables?
Also currently are Bonnie Plants Division and Home Depot Vegetable plants officially organic and bee safe? I live in a 4 plex and the tenants want to plant a vegetable garden. I bought some Home Depot Vegetable plants and one of the tenants is refusing to let me to plant the Home Depot vegetables in the garden because she said they are not organic and bee safe. She is stating if you plant an inorganically raised plant next to a organic plant that the inorganic plant itself will contaminate the organic plant. How? By the roots in the soils or the flower bloom pollen transferred from bees pollenating? The Home Depot staff stated the vegetables I purchased were organic. Please give some insight if Home Depot’s veggies are organic and can be planted next to the other tenants plants. Thank you for your time.
