I am a gardener the grows a wide variety of plants and vegetables. Where is a good department or any store that sells 100% organic plant seeds from tomatos to zucchinis
Wal mart,Home depot, and lowes all now has an organic seed display usually right by the regular seed selections
What are the best organic tonics for growing tomatoes?
First : your plants must be put in a hole, big like 2 tennis balls full of home-compost – Cost = zero
Second : water-canned very often – Cost = zero
Third : "pruned" very often mainly in the development phase
the bottom of the unique central trunk must be
without any branch
All the leaves and branches that you cut are spread
at the bottom of the plants – Cost = zero
Fourth : nettles – harvest them – about big like two or three
buckets – then let them get rotten in a barrel with
some water – when it stinks it's good – cost=zero
Then pour some of the "nettle-juice" at tje bottom
of the tomato plants
Fifth : find copper wire – the kind you find after electricians
re-cable – cut it in one inch pieces
Pierce the bottom of the central branch with one
piece of copper-wire – cost =zero
Great gardenning is a good job for greedy people –
I want to grow organic potatoes in a container garden?
All of the books I have read, say that you MUST use certified seed potatoes. Is there any reason I shouldn't seed out some of the organic fingerling potatoes I already have? I can understand not using regular storebought potatoes, but shouldn't organic be okay? Same question about sweet potatoes. Any tips or advice will be appreciated!
If you are going to re sell them you probably need the certified seed potatoes….If not….I cut up the grocery store variety…and I don't use pesticides…so they are organic…cept from the eye of the potatoe it starts with…but after that all the growth is organic.
Fall Garden Chores for Spring Flowering Bulbs
As the school busses begin to rumble down the road again we are
reminded that the gardening season is drawing to a close. For
the gardener with an eye toward next spring, however, the season
still promises plenty to be done in preparation of a showy
spring to come. Early fall is the time when we should be
planting our bulbs.
Good soil drainage is paramount for spring-blooming bulb
success. If you have a mostly clay soil be sure to mix in
organic material such as compost to lighten the soil. The soil
pH should be between 6 and 7. If you need assistance in
determining your soil pH or in discovering how to manage its
level refer to your local agricultural extension service for
help.
Spring flowering bulbs are great for beds, in borders, and in
rock gardens. These early risers prefer to be planted in areas
which will not receive direct sunlight during the midday,
especially once the hot summer months roll back around.
Wait until soil temperatures are below 60 F (16 C) before
planting. If you purchase your bulbs before the cold season sets
in you may keep them in your refrigerator until the soil has
cooled sufficiently. The fall planting ensures the bulbs will
have adequate opportunity to develop a strong root system before
they come up in the spring and early summer to greet you.
When you are ready to plant your bulbs, follow the directions
carefully for the depth and spacing requirements and be certain
to loosen the soil beneath the depth of planting. The easiest
fertilization method for your spring bulbs is a single
application of a sulfur-coated, slow-release fertilizer
incorporated into the bottom of your bulb hole at planting time.
After having placed the bulbs in their new home, begin to cover
them with the soil you removed to dig the hole. When you have
covered the bulbs halfway give them a thorough soaking before
covering them with the remaining soil.
With such wonderful options as corn lily, grape hyacinth and
tulips your work will be rewarded in the spring with the finest
of gardening pleasures. The joy can possibly only be compared to
the sound of the school busses rumbling down the road
The Organic Buffet
A new type of all you can eat buffet has emerged in the last decade, and it’s not the desert bar. The organic buffet is becoming a popular place for health minded people to gather for food, and company. Many top health food grocers like Whole Foods, and Earth Fare, are testing out the concept to warm results.
It seems that the mix of fresh organic foods in a casual setting has hit a chord with customers. Many customers seem to not only enjoy the organic buffet on occasion, but rather weekly, or even daily.
There is a growing number of people who come in for a light healthy meal at lunch instead of going to a fast food joint. Many feel this is also a better alternative than your normal “sit down” restaurant.
In many cases it is also faster if your time is limited. You can come in either sit down and have a light lunch or pick up several items and take back to your office. You can also do a little additional grocery shopping for your evening meal that evening.
Many people have started to focus on their bodies as a temple, and thus have adjusted their diets to help make their bodies more pure. The scope of organic style diets can be as small as enjoying organic fruits and vegetables every now, and then, to being a vegan who does not eat anything that isn’t organic.
With such a diverse pallet of taste that customers bring to the table, organic buffet restaurants have their hands filled trying to please everyone and still turn a profit in the process. The greatest organic buffets are those that are different than traditional buffets in food quality, but similar in diverse selection.
Many organic buffets will be skewed towards the vegan or non meat eating customers as those seem to be the most faithful followers of the trend. Therefore, you will usually see a very few meat offerings on an organic buffet with the majority of the foods being non meat based.
Many would believe the price of organic buffet foods would be higher than those of a traditional buffet, but this is not true. The prices seem to fall in line with that of a traditional buffet. The reasoning could be that organic buffets focus on higher quality vegetables, but offer less quantities of meats.
Traditional buffets offer more meats at a less standard of quality, thus lowering the food costs. These factors balance out for about the same price at both a traditional buffet and an organic one.
