Well,  I think there is a reason that hardly anyone had anything good to say about it.  That's probably because those farmers don't believe the organic hype. 

I hope you do well with your garden.  I have a garden also.  Frankly, if I were to think about it, it's probably not too far different from an organic garden.  I don't use herbicides in my garden, and I don't use fungicides.  However, I am not opposed to treating with an insecticide if the need arises.  I think the big difference between me and someone organic is that I don't believe the produce is better from my garden just because I choose not to use those products.  I think THAT is a big reason why you got such a negative reaction.  Organic people think their produce is more nutritious simply because they choose not to use pesticides.  To that I say "Bunk!"
