I am interested in nutitional veggies, not perfect looking tastless ones. I used a well know flower and veggie plant food last year (Miracle Grow) makes nice flowers.The fruit did not taste sweet and the skins were thick and tough. I have added more garden soil and composted manure this year but I want something more to boost the crop in quantity and taste. Any suggestions? Or should that be enough? I am looking for a home made organic fertilizer, any tried and true recipes? I am planning on sharing what ever grows with family and neighbors. so I am hoping for a bumper crop. I am growing lots of tomatos,cucumbers, some watermelon,carrots,yellow beans,radishes,chives,parsley..oh yes flowers lots. I wanted more but ran out of garden darn!
I am looking for a market brand organic liquid or powder veggie food. I will try the others in different parts of my garden and experiment. I really want lots to harvest I love fresh plentiful veggies!
I have started composting my veggie peels,leaves, fruit,grass clippings,egg shells,coffee grinds,tea leaves,but for now I need something else.

I live close to the everglades in southern Florida and I have a big problem with bugs eating of my fruits and vegies in my garden. Does anyone know of any natural or organic pesticides to use?

I have a very small patch of ground in which to garden–3×10′. I do everything organically–natural fertilizers, worms, no pesticides, etc. Last year I had rats so bad in my little spot in suburbia, I didn’t harvest a single tomato. They all got eaten. I tried Urine-Away, traps, (got two), and I am prepared to use poison traps this year. I know it affects the environment negatively, as the rats will die somewhere and the poison will leech into the earth. But if they don’t die and decompose in my garden, and the poison is kept to the trap, I don’t see how it affects my personal harvest. I’d just like to have one this year! I know this is not the ideal method, and I would prefer a more natural way, but nothing else has worked. I want them out of my garden, away from my kids, and certainly not in my house!
