1. What is the soil test on your garden? What crop removal rates are you taking out, and what balanced fertilizer are you putting back on the soil to balance it? What does your chicken manure and your kelp have for analysis?
I know on my farm, every 2.5 acres. I apply what is needed for the next crop, I don�t apply extra where it isn�t needed. The soil tests show the areas of the fields where manure was overapplyed for many years back in the old days. I�m getting that balanced better by not applying much fertilizer on those areas.
Do you know? Or do you just apply some, maybe some more is even better, without knowing?
2. Are you growing the kelp yourself on your farm? If not, how iOS it sustainable? In what way, shape, or form is it sustainable to take plant matter from somewhere else to enrich your farm, and call that �better� and sustainable� over what I do?
My questions are short and pointed, because it makes it clear the shortfalls of organic production.
I�d be happy to visit your garden, enjoy seeing what you do, and enjoy sharing the farming processes we both do.
My issue is that you somehow think your ways are superior to other ways.
I don�t think so. I think your ways and my ways are close to the same - farming.. I think in the last 20 years conventional farming has gotten a lot better with efficiency and environmental issues, and is now more sustainable than what you are doing.
Doesn�t bother me what you do, or what your customers buy. But I think we should be honest with them?
They might care some day, when they figure that out.......

Today's Featured Article - The Rescue of a Fordson F - by Anthony West. Introduction I live in the UK and have for many years restored Fordson tractors (in the main model N's). I have also restored and shown model F's, E 27N's, Field Marshall Series 2, David Brown Cropmasters and the old rey Fergeson T 20. At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p
