Everything in that case is free range and organic.

The usda/govt definitions of those terms can be misleading unless something changed.

Example*: Used to be if you had 10 chickens and put each of them in their own 2 square foot cage that's not "free range" but if you put the same 10 chickens in a single 20 square foot cage it is because there aren't walls separating them individually, even though they're still asses to elbows in the same amount of space.

yeah a lot of things are like letter/spirit of the law distinctions

like the spirit of free range is supposed to be open space, humane living conditions, as good a life as possible for future nuggets
the letter of it requires setting a limit somewhere, and the nature of the industry is for people to figure out how to do just that and no more

I agree, but that isn’t what this is. That retailer wouldn’t take part in anything that isn’t honest with their marketing.

Ya you gotta set limits and definitions somewhere. Lot of lobbying and money/favors get traded along the way.
It's something but there's no substitute for actually seeing/knowing how your particular source is actually doing things.

Kind of like how if 51% of some thing can somehow be linked to the USA they can label it Made in the USA.
 


literally worms. Found one of my cypress trees absolutely decimated when i woke up, these little fuckers (bagworms) had eaten it overnight

man... me and the girls patrolled the treeline around the property edge and found 3 other infested areas. Bagworms dont spread very fast since they dont fly, so they cant only spread about 5 feet in either direction, but the trees are all touching eachother.

I have put a ton of effort into getting this privacy line up and good looking, im gonna have to spray at least 50 feet worth of trees with spinosad to stop this in its tracks.
 
Trees touching makes this a no-go. But for trees not touching or extremely close, saran wrap around the trunk with some grease or Vaseline on it, or anything similar to that (sticky side out duct tape?) stops the leaf-eating, tree-destroying worms down low before they get there.
