I don't like to spray killer on my weeds. .I like to hand pick. .and it looks like it. .because I have to tolerate what I can't get too! I too believe that, if not for people like you spreading good, valid information. .we will soon be in trouble with our future!! Keep up the great, if not frustrating work!!

Your support ...Thanks to both Prof R and to Carla. Your support and understanding really have perked up my day. <br /><br />Dru, I am constantly amazed at the wonderful foodstuffs you and your husband raise for your CSA and how careful you are about being totally organic. You guys are inspiring.<br /><br />Bluestem, you too know exactly how I feel. Unfortunately, when I'm volunteering specifically to answer questions, I can't really just change the subject. I do try to do a lot of education, though I'm not sure that much gets through.Gaia Gardener:https://www.blogger.com/profile/00692281131036600613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24376388.post-63605223520116842542013-07-24T19:27:50.394-07:002013-07-24T19:27:50.394-07:00I can relate.

I don't usually tell people at work that I like gardening, but sometimes word gets out and then the "how do I kill" and "how do I get rid of" questions start. Whether it is weeds, insects, snakes or some other form of wildlife, the want them gone. I don't bother trying to change their perceptions anymore. I just politely say that I have a different kind of garden and I generally try to attract whatever "pest" they want to eradicate. And then I change the subject back to work.

This is like the most profound thing I've read in a week, Gaia. And it's exactly what's wrong with HGTV, Home Depot, Lowes, and many local nurseries that provide advice without ecological considerations.ProfessorRoushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17827625019371233145noreply@blogger.com
