This is a container grown plant with cucumbers actively growing, and is located in Southern California. Can you recommend an insecticide or organic method?
Sevin dust will not affect leaf miners in the bit….You simply pull the leaves as you see them the best you can..The insecticides to use to control them are for control of the adult ..not the larvae in the leafs ..I have studied over thjis for years..there is a chemicals like isotex that help, but you use it on NOTHING that you are going to eat…Leaf minors you have to catch the adultas before they lay thier eggs in the leafs..check out this link..They will laugh at sevin dust..

Do you anything about organic fertilizers, Home made,
If you choose to use manures, especially from animals that pass some of the seeds, you have to let the compost pile heat up hot enough to kill those seeds (160 -180 degrees, I think), otherwise they will come up in your garden. There are many good books on both organic gardening & composting. I used the Encylopedia of Compost.
Some helpful links…

MANY more, just type.. Organic Gardening .. or .. Compost/Composting .. into your browser.

I bought Miracle Grow All Purpose Plant Food and it says I can use it on Flowers, vegetables and grass. But is it safe to do so? I want my vegetables to be organic. I do not want any chemicals. If this Miracle grow plant food just nitrogen and other minerals or does ot have chemicals in it as well?

Which organic plant food should I use? Can you recommend me some?
Miracle grow is not organic..all purpose miracle grow is so high in nitrogen you do not want to feed it to veggies or blooming flowers(anything in the bloom stage)..This will give you all leaves adn next to no, if any veggies or flowers…Blooming plants need phosphrous and pottasium, calcium and magnesiam
