I understand your problems, your predicament, and your choice but.... the spray is not "sort of organic" it is not organic and I hope you will tell your customers that.
I have a row of tangerines along one edge of our property and the neighbor sprayed a material to seal the soil on the road. There is nothing in the spray that would keep it from being sold as regular produce, but I did not sell it to my organic market this year. that means I got 14 cents a pound instead of 4 dollars a pound. Integrity of what you say about your produce is worth more that the loss of dollars.
--sighs a heavy sigh-- I feel the pinch too sometimes. Hope you are able to get the lil buggers under control.
Do consider converting to permanent mulch bed system if you want to be organic. It takes at least a full year, maybe 2 for the beds to really settle and develop good O, A, B, and C horizons and build a good healthy micro-environment, but once converted, you should have far fewer problems.

Mulch beds are nice, IF your not planting acres and acres.

Our case, starting out 11 years ago at ages 43 and 47, did good considering, no tractors or implements. Tried to grow EVERYTHING ourselves for a market that you can sell a 1-ton cargo van amount of produce every Saturday. We also tried to stay totally 'organic' and natural. Weeds took over, every year.

Now at age 54 & 58, we have to get produce from other farmers that have more help and more equipment. We still plant every year, but seem to have more weeds and less production. I'm sure glad for our friends, they like to grow and I like to do the selling. It works for us.

We've tried raised beds and mulch beds, neither one seem to work for us, just makes the weeds healthier. We still don't use insecticides since we have a butterfly farm just down the road, and those butterflies do try to help with the pollination (we don't have many bees left).

By this time of year, I personally think, we are all tired of FIGHTING all that Mother Nature sends our way, and need a vacation. Of course, by now, there is not any time for a vacation.

Timmy, I feel for you and understand. Start thinking about next year.

What sprays do you mean that aren't organic? Bt is and rotenone pyrethrum can also be OMRI certified. I don't use it because it is broad spectrum. Bt is great but doesn't kill squash bugs, only caterpillars. But maybe you meant Sevin. What people don't get about organic gardening is that you can't kill all insects and think your problems will be solved. That is what people think with Sevin, but they are too stupid to realize they killed the predators too. But organic gardening sure isn't easy! Customers want it organic but the same quality as conventional- no insects and even no holes. When old people see kohlrabi with a few holes in the leaves they won't buy them. They don't eat the leaves anyway. sigh
Well I have had good luck with a lot of mixed planting, companions and encouraging beneficials. Floating row covers, Bt and a little spinosad are my other weapons. Some people say spinosad effects bees but I haven't seen that and would need more info. I have only read it is safe for beneficials. Luckily I have plenty of bees with all the borage I have.

Thanks for the posts.

softmentor- I understand what you're saying about the pemanent bed/mulch system. What I don't understand is what you would do, using this system, to get the stink bug problem under control. 1- I will not misrepresent anything that I sell. 2- I am not and don't publisize organic (here to say organic you must be certifide and I am not going to pursue certification.)

myfamilysfarm- thanks for the encouraging words. I have already begun to plan for next year and will obviously need to be more pro active before problems arise.

little minnie- Trying to stay away from the category that Sevin falls under too. The rotenone/pyrethrum spray is expensive and from what I have seen only limitedly effective. Stink bugs are resilient! With several cycles in the works you have to kill many generations at a time. Spray one day and it kills the bugs but then 2 days later the eggs hatch and the cycle resumes! I know next year row cover will help alot. Does spinosad work on stink bugs?

Spinosad is definitely worth a try. I find it very effective.
I use row cover on cucurbits until about 1 week after flowering starts. I haven't had any of the 3 pests on the cucurbits in the last two years. In 2008 I had a lot of squash bugs and cuc beetles.

I freely admit I have a very different climate and different bugs, but in general, healthy soil and good post harvest clean up give you much less carry over and much less trouble. A lot of bugs have to come from a lot of parents and their procreation. clean up keeps the generation problem to a minimum. Healthy soil makes healthy plants that are better able to resist insect invasion although some bugs aren't stopped by even the healthiest plants. and clean healthy beds tend to benefit a range of good beneficial life.
I have tried to modify turn-the-soil methods for organic and never did well. I have had good success with mulch beds. I honestly can't tell what all the reasons are. Although I have studies in college, learned from others, and been a keen observer, there is such a wealthy complexity to a no-till, soil horizons soil, I can't fully detail all the reasons it works. It just does.
for large scale, flail hammer mowers, rakes, and drill planters can do 90% of the work in 10% of the time, but you still have to walk every row often and tend and fuss. You have to become an integral part of the soil and the life it supports. Then it supports you too.
as to marketing flawed produce. samples and talking to folks. If they taste the difference and understand the product, you got 'em.

Well, we've had it. The gardens got mowed off last night, there wasn't enough produce to make it worth picking and the weeds will make better bales for the cows than going to seed. Thank goodness my Amish friends have better control over their weeds and I can still run my farmers market with their help.

TimmyLaz--

You asked for advice on how to make a crop, so here it is:

Get over your chemophobia, talk to your extension agent, study-up and get an applicators license and follow the advice of the university people and chemical companies that have made America the most productive agricultural nation in the history of the world.
