Hi,
I found common comfrey.
Joel LeGrand Comment by Joel LeGrand on July 8, 2009 at 7:56pm
Hi, when you say no animal products , are you saying no compost from manure or vermicompost? How then do you heat up your heap, even with green & brown layers this would take some time to break down. If you have a "plant only" way of speeding this up please share . thank you .

Hi Pamela,
I make green smoothies everyday too!! And I also eat a lot of raw foods, and mine taste so good, cause the veggies are picked right before prepared!!! My garden is one of my greatest joys.
Yesterday I picked cukes, summer squash, tomatoes, sno peas and peppers. The strawberries stopped producing, but I still have a bowl of blackberries.

Can someone tell me where to find a Leek and Potato Soup recipe that had Sorrel in it ...it was posted a few months ago.
Thanks so much.
Pamela Poor Comment by Pamela Poor on June 22, 2009 at 11:09pm
Maria, my husband and I are trying to get into raw food. We make green smoothies everyday to get our day started, and are sprouting and I'm reading recipes to practice with. I began with Victoria Boutenko's books.

Hi ladyherb:
Your comment about juicing cukes and greens sounds like a raw food concotion to me... Are there any raw foodists here?

Good day! I am getting started in straw bale gardening this year. Can't wait to start juicing some cukes and greens. And I really love my herbs!

I've been in the public library now for 21/2 yrs. and as of yet haven't
been able to coax an invitation into an organic-vegative-gardening
opportunity. I've done some chickenmanure gardening on anothers place-
that had an interesting effect on the plant's phytochemical chemistry.
I'm still collecting seeds though.

Lisa, It is my understanding that the kitchen waste must be covered with bedding (i.e. shredded news paper) to discourage fruit flies. That has worked for me. Are you sure you are seeing fruit flies and not sewer gnats? S/Gnats look like fat fru...

Several people have experienced difficulty putting working links into comments and blogs etc and I know it is clumsy.... so here is how you do it.....

First type the text you want to appear....  ie  IAN'S PAGE

Then go back and highlight the link text.

Then hit the hyperlink button...a pictogram of a chain link.

Your browser may intervene and request permission to allow temporary scripting or some similar message.   Allow it and go back and highlight the text again
