Ok well I made these organic pumpkin muffins and I followed a sustainable recipe. But I don’t think just because it is organic means it is sustainable. So what kind of process would the sugar have to go through to be sustainable?

theloniouszen asked:
I live in Wisconsin and did not grow up here. I see all the corn, soybeans, wheat, cows, tractors, silos around me and I want to find out how they go about their work. I love to garden, and want to see what the scale-up is like. All the books I find now are for people getting out of the rat race and jumping into organic, sustainable gardening which I am not interested in. Even a textbook that tells me about the different corn seed genes, silage, why to grow soybeans over corn, etc. would be fine. Anyone?

TheGuy asked:
I am thinking about purchasing a CSA share of seasonal vegetables, fruit, etc. The price for 1/2 share is roughly $350 for the summer ( and includes enough vegetables for 2 adults. I am wondering if this is the most cost effective way of getting organic vegetables as compared to getting them from the local grocery (Meijers, Krogers, etc)? If you have participated in a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program before, let me know of your experience and if you think it was cost effective.

bgt5ki8 asked:
I am doing a 1 acre garden this year of assorted veggies, and I am thinking of using Kelp, molasses, and fish emulsion, what would be good application rates for different veggies? I guess it would depend on the soil PH and nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, etc. levels? are there any good books on the subject that you recommend? (organic fertilizer)
thanks a lot

apclass123 asked:
I’m looking to grow all my own food eventually (no joke) my only problem is I’m an infant when it comes to organic/sustainable gardening and gardening in general. My question is from year to year, how is the harvest from your garden? Is it relatively consistent from year to year or do you (I know this is probably the answer) have good years and bad years? I know this might seem like an obvious question, but being in d*mn public compulsory education for the past fourteen years has rotted the practical side of my small brain :(.
Thanks in advance!

Any homemade/organic recipes would be great!

A friend who is extremely interested in agriculture, wants me to invest in his farm. He said I will receive my money back+25% interest. He said he would be growing ONLY organic vegetables by hand on a 1/2 acre farm. How much (estimate) do you think he would get a year from farming?
