Rivera asked:
Hi, I do have a little back yard and decided that I would try to grow me vegetables this summer, because I want to try organic vegetable growing. Since I have a dog and the dog is using part of the area was I wondering how I can make sure that I have no contaminated soil. A friend of mine suggested that O put plastic down and then clean soil on top of that, but I am wondering if that would work. I had the idea of getting me large planters in addition to making this little backyard garden, but I am unsure of what plants grow well in big planters. Any suggestions or idea will be appreciated.

OK, here’s my biff..
ALWAYS being told organic is better, necessary, the greatest!
Well, I can’t always get organic and pre packaged food TASTES better then commercial food, and if everyone is making out that commerical vegetables aren’t that great, why shouldn’t I go with the pre packaged?

Like spinach, I cannot get organic spinach, period. I can only get loaly grown commercial spinach. On youtube and on raw chat sites I’m told that’s not good enough or there abouts…
So why bother??
Why not just eat the packet of dried nori that I prefer so much instead??
So, what should I do??
THANKS!
290/225?!?!?!?!?!
That’s crazy!

Skykitty asked:
After researching this website for my question above, I found an old resolved question that indicated all moms believed Beech Nut to be organic and were happily feeding it to their babies. I investigated a little further by writting to the company direclty, and here’s the answer I received: Dear Ms. Gillies,
Thank you for writing. Beech-Nut products are not certified organic. As
part of our commitment to giving babies a healthy start in life, we’ve
taken a leadership role in keeping pesticide residues to an absolute
minimum. Our pesticide standards are significantly stricter than the
Federal requirements. In fact, levels in our baby foods are negligible to
non-detectable, making our products comparable to those containing
organically grown fruits and vegetables. Non-organic and organic
commercial baby foods are equally as safe and are equally nutritional.
I will stick to Earth’s Best, Organic Baby and whatever else I can find at organic markets such as Mrs. Greens. Beware!

President Bush just unveiled a $2.9 trillion spending plan to murder more people in Iraq. Has he not sufficiently run this country deep enough into debt ??? What IS the present state of National debt in America ? Should it not be the first priority to crerate environmentally-freindly jobs, and feed and shelter the homeless in America ? Would those billions not be better spent cleaning up all the pollution created by criminal industrialists funded by Bush, pig farmers, etc…and be used to grow organic vegetables, grains, beans, etc…. isn’t it more intelligent to spend those trillions to educate people to depend LESS upon an oil-based economy through self-sufficient living ? How did we allow a criminal to get elected, and why are we still allowing him to create a hell on earth ???!!! If we don’t do something about him, are we also not guilty of indirectly participating in his atrocities ? Is he and Cheney not the greatest crminals in America at this moment ?

Does anyone have any ideas on how to:
1) Find land to buy
2) How to get started in doing this?

What vegetables do you grow (if any)?
What vegetables do you grow (if any)?
Later on this year when the weather’s warmer I want to grow some cherry tomatoes in the greenhouse.
I posted this in VV because of the correltation between ‘vegetarians/vegans’ and ‘vegetables’. LOL. And I’m curious to know if any of you grow your own organic, homegrown veg.

TANZ asked:
Or which store has the best prices?
It’s for vegetables grown in pots rather than in the ground.

Our family grows organic fruits and vegetables. We use seeds and partially grown plants (pot plants) from stores like Target, Walmart, and Home Depot. Do those seeds come from gm fruits veggies?
