Hi! Recently I was starting to plant some vegetables in my backyard. But need to have some fertilizer to keep my vegetables healthy, but I don’t want to use chemical fertilizer. So can someone tell me which website teaches us how to produce organic fertilizer at our own home? I appreciate your help. Thanks!
Er… I mean search on internet for the ways to produce fertilizer…

I have tons of flowers in my garden. When I cut them down and put them in the kitchen sometimes there are lots of little bugs, and a few times a bee has come out. I want to take some to my friend, but I don’t want to bring bugs in her house. Is there a natural/organic substance I can spray on them before I take them?

Venus is Earth asked:
Last year horn worms really got on my nerves. They ate away at my large tomato plant. Overall it was like they were pruning it though, and once they died, the tomato plant grew larger.
Last year horn worms really got on my nerves. They ate away at my large tomato plant. Overall it was like they were pruning it though, and once they died, the tomato plant grew larger.
However they are such a pest, and If I didn’t pluck them off, they probably would have eaten the whole thing.
Now, I just saw the first few on a couple different plants.
No idea where they came from.
I stomped them. However, I fear there are more I didn’t see, or more will come.
Is there a more effective way to get rid of them or PREVENT them?
No chemicals, no BT (have to order it), anything at the local WalMart or lowes, home depot will help, but this is an organic garden.
I’ve also noticed some other pests eating at some of my other plants leaves, and saw different Caterpillar on another plant, but they don’t do much damage.
How can the bugs go away!
I remember last year, the hornets helped a lot with the worms, but they got a late start, and the worms ate a lot before being injected with hornet babies.

John D asked:
Ok I would like to know how many acres you would need to grow all the food for a family of 4 in a closed loop fashion, i.e. don’t have to purchase fertilizers (because you compost) or hay for livestock (because you grow it), etc… I would like a breakdown of like orchard, permanent crops (blueberries, etc…) kitchen garden, canning, freezing, and baking garden, livestock grazing land, hay for livestock during winter, grain for livestock also breakdown of acreage for each type of animal, and anything else you can think of. I know it is impossible to be exact because there are so many factors that go into crop productivity, family diet, etc… but if someone wanted to do this how many acres would you tell them to buy. Here are a few assumptions. It takes place in the pacific northwest, more specifically the Portland Oregon area. The family of four eats a decent amount of wild caught fish and wild game meat. There would be a green house that would allow some fresh vegetables all year long that would supplement the frozen and canned fruits and vegetables. I know that is a lot of specific information I would like but as much information I can get is greatly appreciated, especially from people with experience in this type of setup. Thanks

I am a suburban single mom looking to start a mini farm- vegetable garden, raise animals (rabbits, chickens), etc. I already have area set aside for garden, I compost and am trying to be more green in my lifestyle. Does anybody have any general words of wisdom or advice for a beginner? I am hoping this will be a good lesson for kids as well… I have been reading sustainability books and organic gardening texts and feel semi-confident that this project is do-able, but any practical advice or experiences would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

We were advised by a Lowes garden specialist to use a mixture of dillo dirt for our organic vegetable garden. We found out tonight while at Lowes that it was not the thing to do? Is it safe to use in vegeable gardens? I am getting conflicting views via web.
