  Rebuilding the Organic Content and Soil Food Web is key to healthy food, and boycotting everything that is GMO and / or processed, boycott all Phude, adultersated 'food'.
  
  the ORIGINAL Fast Food was an organic Apple.
  
  This afternoon I am going to write an article about our relationship with earthworms. We are dependant upon earthworms to help build the soil. The earthworms can build the soil better than we can. We can help, empower the earthworms by providing them with leaves and other organic material for them to feed upon.

  I like the idea of a garden being a "shovel ready project", and as we evolve to No-Till, letting the earthworms do the tilling, we won't nee the shovel until it is time to dig up the potatoes.

  Het-er-or-hab-di-tis bac-ter-i-o-phor-a is a beneficial nematode that reportedly is a Voracious hunter of many pest insects including squash borer.
  
  I have also read that slices of cucumber in aluminum dishes will yield an odor that drives away many pest insects. Has anyone else heard of this?
  
  Also I am wondering whether adding a little Rock Dust to the soil will improve the mineral availability so the plants are healthier, and thus, not attract insect pests. see http://www.remineralize.org.

  The school is 10 years old so imagine the plot is about the same. It's about 30 x 20, not too big. We would love to have you come by. I'm not always there so we could set up a time would work for us. A Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon would be good. The school day ends at 3:30. I'm flexible most days so let me know what would work.

  Thank you for catching the misspelling Ericka. Everything on the internet should have a spell check option. : )
  I think the problem with our garden is lack of enthusiasm on everyone's part. I thought if someone wanted to visit the school and give the kids some fresh input it might get them going again. I did purchase the game so we'll see how that goes. Thanks for your interest.
