If you read John's article:

http://www.allotment-garden.org/vegetable/general/home-made-pesticide.php

You'll see that only approved pesticides can legally be used.

Organic simply does not come into the equation.

Anyway we do condone the use of insecticides...............it's up to the individual if they choose to garden organically or not ;)

All we stress is that insecticides have to be licensed, to be legal.

If they are not then you cannot discuss them on here!

And if you did want a (non-organic) one, I can recommend Provado, which was recommended to me on this site.

Does a good job and is as safe as one could be  :D :D

Yes, Provado Ultimate is very good.  It did take a few applications to reduce the whitefly though.  They seem to have mutated this year. ::)
