Since I posted this thread, I have sold lots of copies of my book locally to garden clubs, and even online to many of my friends so far! I'm excited!
This year, I want to do more experiments on my no-till farm with mixing composting with aerated compost tea recipes and cover crops and companion plants.
We had a big hard frost over the Easter week, that killed a lot of my pre-mature spring crops. Since I though the "greenhouse effect" was on my side this year, I planted too much stuff too early. Well no matter. It's just mostly seeds. I'll just replant and start over. I still got plenty of time.
Even though I'm more of a master composter than a master gardener, I love to compost and show off some of my crops in my demonstration raise beds on my farm to customers. I'm still learning a lot about growing vegetables and ornamentals.
Once again thanks everybody!
Happy gardening! |

Way to go , Captain!
I will definately buy your book - those photos on your web site are quite impressive!
And I really really need to learn how to make tons of compost, FAST...
We are starting a huge veggie project (yup, bit off more than I can chew!) in raised beds and can't get enough organic matter! As it is right now, I put in seeds, or plants, and everything just SITS THERE...sheesh. I thought it was the cold weather this year here in texas, but some of the seeds are supposed to like it cold...
I know I need nitrogen, but a soil report told me i have heavy phosphorous, so I am searching for a remedy to this.
Love your web page, you all are an inspiration!
