Are you thinking of organic gardening? (We are!)

I have lots to say on our switch to organic lawn care and gardening. But before I develop some posts on this matter, there is an article you should read. Be careful what kind of "organic compost" products you buy. As it turns out, some of these products contain processed human sewage.

Which in itself isn't necessarily always bad but when you consider that medications like Prozac and other harmful materials get dumped in people's toilets, a giant compost of collective human sewage is a really bad idea.
