I would say most. Use Miracle Grow if you want.

my 1101, 902,and 609 were all grown organically.Since I have to grow in a greenhouse environment ,soil health is my main concern,so I was pleasantly surprised ,when my soil test, results came back. and the recommendations said I didn,t need to add anything...still working on natural insect and disease control..and open to all suggestions.I left a few lbs in the patch last year..

I think a lot of the ability to grow more organic may come from your growing conditions. In Ohio I'm fairly centrally located as far as weather conditions but I would guess that a grower in the southern U.S. may have a harder time growing organically than a northern grower due to a warmer more humid grwoing season & the number of insect problems that also come along with the higher humid weather.

That's a very interesting question. Being 100% organic need more work but it's a very nice way to grow ( for our health and the planet). That question can call another one : is it harder to grow a 100% organic world class vegetable than a non organic one ?
