\Here in Ontario the Province banned "all" pesticides and herbicides for non farm use. Retail stores can no longer sell these products to residential users. We can only purchase these products at registered farm supply stores and only if you have a pesticide license. The government has forced most people to go organic. Not even licensed farmers or "Weedman type" commercial lawn care people can spray a yard with any herbicide like 2-4-d on residential yards. Diatomaceous earth is one of the few products most home gardeners can still use to control bugs.
Organic to me means lots of weeds and bugs in your vegetables. Sounds like the "licensed" folks have a good lobby.
Around here you can't buy 2-4-d in gallon jugs without the license, but you can buy all the quart jugs you want.
