Just a quick reply Clover, Yes the paperwork will cost some time & Money but not that much I mean $4.00 extra a kilo for beans, $2.00 extra for apples, come on that is just a rip off. Once you are accredited it is simple audit now & then.
As for depleted soil, Australia generally has very poor soil for agriculture that is missing many vital trace elements that have to be added other wise food does not grow properly and will contain no essential nutrients. So you get a choice add chemicals via fertilizer either organic or mas produced but the trace elements still have to be put in or you will get nothing out.
We grow a fair bit of our own fruit so I do not like putting on pesticides but prefer to use natural forms of controls for bugs like fruit fly traps & herbal sprays. Happiness is a state of mind as you only get out of life what you put in.
Yes I am a glass half full guy The oter half is waiting to be drained for the next refill. Cheers
