This is a go link http://www.verdant.net/food.htm#whyorganic

mondo_kane asked:
My gf is an avid gardener, though her vegetable garden has a single prolific pest… Cucumber (or Squash) Beetles. She’s tried all sorts of ways to wipe the little swines out, to no avail. She’s trying to keep to an organic growing ethic, but nothing so far seems to work against them; she’s tried releasing ladybugs in her garden, organic-based pesticides… but the bugs just do not give up the ghost.
I’d hate to see her break her organic garden rule over these critters, so - does anyone out there know a good way to get rid of Cucumber Beetles (preferably organic and not napalm-based)? We’re willing to give anything a shot

I weed out one area and then it grows in another area. I know it spreads by underground roots but how am I to stop this invasive herb from taking over my garden?

Severed tomato and bean plants are a sign of cutworm. Im loosing my crop and I assume this is the culprit.. They are cut at ground level and the rest of the plant lies on the ground.

Well i’m starting an organic garden soon, when the season comes and I was wondering if I freeze my fresh organic produce, will it stay fresh longer so I can use it later?

I guess I may be wrong in referring to what I have as compost? But what I am trying to use is mulched leaves from a leaf vacuum/blower- it grinds them to where they almost look like dirt
