Another wonderfully informative article, thanks for sharing. Before the advent of modern chemical warfare, people were able to grow all sorts of food. It is certainly past time to get back to some of those older ways of doing things, saving not only our world around us but ourselves, as well. My problem seems to be finding the time to do much more than plant, though, so most plants in my garden are on their own once I get them in. For most that works well, and those that don't make it are rarely planted again unless there is something special about them.
My break is over, now back to preparations. Tomorrow is a big day with my defense, finally.
