The state has a zero-tolerance for soil nematodes on these (and other plants), and without fumigation, meeting that standard is impossible. Even the organic growers use fumigated strawberry starts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464253324658824659.post-14950930328096813682010-12-09T21:39:09.607-05:002010-12-09T21:39:09.607-05:00Chef Dad,

What have we wrought?!?<br /><br />Thanks for mentioning the soy sauce; you reminded me that I have to write a post about an organic, unpasteurized soy sauce I recently bought. It is unbelievable. I'll write about it next week.<br /><br />RobChef Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10372505654191018607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6464253324658824659.post-3420699912381987072010-12-09T21:05:48.873-05:002010-12-09T21:05:48.873-05:00I really like your blog.

But, we got more interested in the issues you raise here when we discovered our son had a food allergy and then investigated further to see that having only one food allergy is increasingly lucky.<br /><br />Similar to your syrup post, I keep an old bottle of soy sauce in the pantry and refuse to throw it out so i can explain to people that even though the label says it is "naturally brewed" that is a lie and you can tell from the ingredients.Chef Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621018056104194641noreply@blogger.com
