August Update

 So much progress is being made that I dont have the time right now to list them in detail, but briefly it appears that parsley does have its own distinct fragrance much like a tarragon does and i'm looking forward to see how this changes the taste of some of my meals. 

 I am preferring  this one plant situation as the better alternative to the bucket as the harvesting is problematic on the bucket side. I made advances in the basil drying process and some thing brought this batch of yellowing canoed leaves back to its original green and i'm looking into that with different post.

                                                                   



 I've grown and dried more marjoram in these containers than even I thought possible so that has been a big success. I've begun some spinach and cauliflower seeds as a winter crop.

Video Update

 I am not only experimenting with full blown organics, the video side of operations has been questionable at best and so with some improvements I shall upload some old and some new and probably add explanation of  these file at a later date.

Admitting You Have A Problem

Proving unsustainable farming practices and being able to convince industry and politicians of the destructive ways of these practices, are two different animals. And this is why I shall use my blogs many topics and posts, to educate and be used as evidence against gvt to force a change in this, and other, faulty regulations and poor legislations. Making the decision to transition to an organic farm is a difficult one indeed, and is not done until all other options have been completely exhausted, but the will to carry on exists. I have found myself in this exact position and should my results be positive (as a few are seemingly suggesting they will be), a case against the dept of agriculture will, or probably should, be brought so as seeing to those responsible for regulating industry properly, do properly regulate industry. Currently around here it is illegal to operate a self sustaining organic farm but only once a case is made, can it be presented to the courts, this is the prim

Introduction to a hopeful new year of prosperity

Image
  I've been farming something every year for nearly 4 decades, tried about every method known to mankind, have attempted to reduce the amount of time and effort required to successfully farm, have farmed both the north and south, but not until now have I admitted that chemical farming alone is not only unsustainable, but damaging to the environment and if done long enough, is showing signs of permanent damage. I will leave the damage done and response to it for another day and now focus on the organic side of farming, occasionally adding some chemicals for balance but never enough to wash out of the soil and towards the ocean as industry does today. This topic is also a study as to just how much organic is enough so as to obtain the results desired but not over due the cost or available resources at hand. I prefer to start with a financially stable crop and once positive results are obtained, transfer that data to the remaining crops desired.  Which is why different gardens, differ
