John asked:


Ok so I know organic fruit and vegetables means no pesticides and all natural fertilizer. But if you have a compost pile where you create fertilizer can you throw un-organic waste in there (stuff from the store) and still call the crops organic. Second if you raise chickens or some form of livestock and you use all organic food, etc… is that all you have to do to consider it organic or would actually have to buy an “organic” chick or calf or whatever the animal is, in order for it to be organic. Thanks
