Progress on composting

Composting: we've been at it a month.
Nice to know our kitchen waste is feeding bugs and bacteria
which will then decompose and recycle the waste and feed our plants.

We see little creepy crawlies are going up the sides of the bin.
A perfect example of--build it, and they will come!

From an organic gardening e-book user.

This post is from a satisfied user of the wonderful gardening e-book and videos available at www.organicfoodforless.info.

"I purchased the information from the fellow in Australia and have utilized the information already. My garden was a lot better this year, and every year it should get better.

I'd looked a a lot of stuff and his seemed really great."

Planting an organic garden with mulch for yummy pesto.

I have just planted some young basil plants, according to the strategies outlined in the organic gardening website for vegetables: www.organicfoodsforless.info. I will feed them some garden mulch from our kitchen, and watch them grow and harvest the leaves for a wonderful raw foods pesto that I make, along with cold-pressed olive oil, raw pine nuts (or pistachios) fresh organic lemon juice and rind, a bit of unheated raw honey, and voila! Very yummy to use with raw meats and fishes or avocados or with guacamole, or as a condiment on top of almost anything!

This method of organic gardening with mulch is really suitable for different kinds of vegetables that can be grown in most any climate and soil conditions, and with so little maintenance. Happy gardening and buon appetite!

We are eating out of our organic garden

The following message came in about an easy organic way to have no weeds or grasses and to start a garden that produces organic vegetables right away:
"Thank you very much for letting me know about the www.OrganicFoodForLess.info package.
We planted three plots, 7' X 7', 2' X 2' and 3' X 7'. We are growing organic cucumbers from the first plot regularly now, plus celery and zuccini! From the second plot, we are getting yellow squash and from the third plot we get really delicious tomatoes, snap peas and bok choi.

"I love it. I don't have to weed it and we have no bugs. I haven't had to weed since we started this two months ago. We were eating out of the garden in two weeks. "

This is from a lady in southern California who is the author of popular books on an entirely different subject and prefers not to have her name mentioned here.

A self-perpetuating organic garden

It is springtime in the northern hemisphere, after one of the roughest winters in many many years. (Note to those in the southern hemisphere: this will be applicable to you next spring.) This IS the time to plan - and plant - your organic garden. According to the principles given at www.organicfoodforless.info, some of this set up work does not need to be done again and again. Some maintenance is required of course, but the initial actions do not need to be duplicated continuously.

How is this different than getting out the tools and knuckling down to another year of shoveling dirt, applying fertilizer, watering, sowing seeds, weeding, battling the elements and the condition of the soil as well as the garden pests, all to get one's share of produce to eat and/or sell? Whew--a normal gardener can practically get tired before he starts out. Though many adventurous souls keep at it for the love of the earth, and the carrot (literally) at the end of the stick.

Emergency Preparedness

Contributed by Dan T. of San Diego, California: "One of the pieces of true independence. These are the folks we would be turning to if (God forbid) there ever was an economic failure (or a disruption large enough to shut down local food distribution).

P.S. from Jim - delicious organic vegetables do not require such an extreme approach. This horticulturist has it all worked out and is more than willing to show you all the details.

Luscious organic tomatoes for the picking!

You can grow abundant organic tomatoes in your organic garden that taste better, don't cost you $3.50 a pound and require very little start-up effort & almost no maintenance. The person who knows all about this is a 20 year horticulturist and scientist. He talks about site selection and breaking every rule in the book (that says you have to find an ideal spot, dig the soil, fertilize it rigorously, weed it – all of which add up to a huge effort and would discourage me).
There are many varieties of tomatoes but you will find they all have smaller seeds; you may wish to start them in a basket. Most of the labor can be left at the door however, using Jonathan's methods.
Tomatoes love warm weather and will ripen easily and taste great, during a warm/hot spell.
There is a strategy to keep the weeding at a minimum and leave the soil alone. My summary: weed it and you will have weeds. To get the real technique (could it be that simple?), this very caring horticulturist has a thorough yet simple e-book and 12 detailed demonstration videos priced as a give-away bargain basement set.
… another installment on another day.
