In order to really love your food, its good to KNOW where it came from. If you're wondering who's handled it, where it came from, if there's a pig farm upstream from the spinach crop you can't truly appreciate what your eating. Thats one reason why I love to have a garden. Not only do I know whats in the soil but I know what's been applied to the soil and the plants.
Organic fertilizer, in my opinion, is the only way to go along with compost. Our compost pile is going on two years now and it has produced better plants from throw away seeds than our own garden. Our garden is 32x40. This will be the first season where we don't have to rip up any sod or turn "fresh" soil. I look forward to a hot summer day, while mowing our field, when I can hop off the tractor and grab a fresh pea, tomatoe or green bean!!
