Growing organic? Better double-check your soil. Unless you’ve owned your yard for generations and know exactly what’s been done with it over the years, you can’t always be sure that the backyard is organic. Just ask the Obama’s. Their organic soil went to sludge after it was discovered that the land was contaminated by the Clinton’s.
