Wow, I would settle for that concoction over any man made chems. Although as an Aromatherapist I know there are risks with anything and everyone is different. That would be better for the Bee's too? in very diluted amounts.
Tricky isn't it? I'd be happier with ag chem that has had ten years of trials data than something seemingly inert. The old "Bordeaux mixture" is not nice on skin. And most modern day insecticides are derived from plant defense mechanisms (then synthesised) whereas the fungicide I'm about to apply was created from a mushroom extract. Plant growth regulators are synthesised versions of natural plant chemicals. It's honestly not this huge terrible corporate master plan. Just a different way of doing things. And yay we are able to go to a shop and find foods freely available that a produced to standards that tick everyone's boxes. The absolute base standard of UK food production is incredibly high. Soy &avocados probably not so much.
