Gill,
When you say "chemicals", I assume you mean man-made
pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. Surely you make use of the
chemical compound H2O.
I have always maintained (and always will) that there is
nothing wrong with the _judicious_ use of _some_ of the products
that are available. They are not the spawn of Satan, and neither
are their users. Different people have different needs, abilities
and requirements.
Having said that, I went last year without using any herbicides
or pesticides, save for the organic slug control. Not so much for
the greater glory of the organic community, but because I'm a
cheap SOB.
Scott... reserving the right to grow chiles as I see fit... KCK
