We are newbies to the owrld of organis getting started about 2 years ago and comitting to complete organic this year. We compost, keep chickens and ducks for organic pest control and mobil fertilization units, keep goats as green grass mowers, recycle EVERYTHING, repourpose items found around the ranch whenever possible, we don't use any chemical pestacides or herbacides on our property and work to reduce the "things" we buy to cut back on usless consumerism. We are glad you are here to add to our discussion and find some new solutions! Thanks! Erin & Eric

Coming on Fall, I'm trying rooty things to see how that goes, and learning about protecting and pruning the plants/
