Way back when, like about 20 years, I was all set to attend the schooling. My extention agent put be at the bottem of the list because I was gardening organically. Of course the list was long & there was not enough openings to get to me.
One of the people who did attend at that time, started a garden club. I went to that a number of times. Also got the cold shoulder every time I mentioned doing something organically.
Now, how times have changed! He is more to the organic side now. I have learned enough from trial & error that I could write a book!
We have had to use some non-organic ways since we got so many acres to take care of. There is no way we could afford to keep weeds dowm organically. At the market, there is very little call for organic produce & the people that do offer it do not get any premium for it. I think it has to do with the fact that we are in the middle of a grain crop ag area.
I try to help people on DG's when I can, & hope I am steering them in the right direction.
Welcome to Dave's!
