"Harmful" is not a scientific word, and certain companies will claim that anything is harmful, just like you just did with water.

Without going into boring detail, do any of you know an appropriate, but descriptive term?

In laymens terms this means anything that is one atom in size sharing a free electron with a second atom is a chemical as it reads from an english dictonary it also indicats that man makes this free electron share it's self with a different atom to form a common bond,

Example H2O is a common bond of one atom sharing a free electron with anouther. As nature made H2O on it's own it must be in accordance to natural laws be concidered to be an organic chemical under natural chemicals laws the list will include things like air and gravity this list is very very long and still hasn't even peaked at DNA Yawn Yawn Yawn
Fungus and bactrias are both organics

Fun fact: The apple, like many other flowering fruit trees, is a member of the large rose family, which also includes pears, cherries, plums, peaches, apricots, almonds and hawthorns which are many favorite spring-flowering trees. The family resemblance can be seen in their flowers: All of these trees have fragrant, five-petaled, star-shaped blossoms that look very much like small wild roses. As with roses, humans have bred some varieties of these plants to have extra petals, which appeal to human eye.

Are you saying that trees and roses are chemicals too?
Poison ivy must be a harmful chemical, I guess.

** the more demanding use of ultra violet rays to clean same water problems with added uses of organic sands and filtering is quickly replacing this old technic

poison ivy is a natural occurrence although it can be harmful to many it is organic Natural gas is organic even after they put the odor in it because it to

hybrid plants and trees do not possess man forced atoms or molecules and are organic
how they make hybrids is a forced DNA exchange from the same family of plants or trees.
Example : a shot gun wedding with an ending result of a mother and father having two children each child will vary in some degree in DNA both children are still organic even if they had Identical twins there will still be a varying degree of difference in DNA

None organics do have the same exact DNA a result of there forced atomic and or molecular structure

no product plant animal fish bird or insect can possess both organic DNA and non organic atoms, molecules or atoms and still be organic

Please try to excuse Kim she is only trying to re-invent the wagon wheel which is organic

be the good day !

I think I will continue to say that I do not use harmful chemicals in my garden.

Harmful Chemicals can be defined as: something that causes death and destruction to any living thing.
If water drowns an insect, then you have used a harmful chemical. (LOL) PS. (I'm only kidding,) as some things can not be helped in life.
