    I used to use cottonseed meal a lot in my veggie garden – helps break up clay, lowers the ph. I stopped awhile ago because of concerns about the cotton being GMO. Your thoughts on how this would affect my garden, and is the cottonseed meal you offer GMO free?

    Nadine –

    I am not certain if the cottonseed meal we offer is GMO-free and have forwarded your question to the mill to get an answer. I will post their response as soon as I hear something.

    As for how cottonseed meal containing GMOs will effect your gardenโ€ฆ The answer is: I donโ€™t know. In the search for answers, I contacted a handful of experts who study horticulture at major universities and those that replied said pretty much the same thing. They couldnโ€™t comment because theyโ€™re just wasnโ€™t enough, or any, research. One of the more distinguished professors we asked hazarded a guess: that the act of decomposition would probably take care of any genetically manufactured plant material and would most likely break down any by product it produced. But he couldnโ€™t say for sure.

    Hope this helps!
