Just bought a rototiller yesterday! I'm going to grow vegetables on about 1500 square feet in my backyard next year. I can hardly wait. I'm always conscious of unnatural fertilizers and pesticides in produce, but it's difficult to get organic stuff consistently around here. I'm going to grow everything completely organically. If anybody has any tips for me, anything I should know to avoid disaster on my first try at growing my own food, please respond to me directly. I'd really appreciate it. I'm not sure if this topic is ok for this list. (Grant or Don, please send me a note and let me know, thanks.) Take care, John Pavao ---------- I think it's ideal if people grow their own food right where they live. Mary J.
