We are building a greenhouse this year and would like to try our hand at organic gardening. Does anyone have a “recipe” for organic “living” soil?

Thanks!

But we have to be careful because “organic” doesn’t always mean “living soil” in conventional agriculture. The organic label can simply mean a farmer abstains from using pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. Reading this chapter was a good review for topics that have come up many times in our house.

I was just talking to my husband the other day about labeling and that we really can't trust the Organic labels completely that are being slapped on all manner or large company labels and upping their price...when in fact the product inside most likely really isn't organic. I say this in regards to many of the traditional supermarket company labels and generic store brand names. If we would dig deep into the brand names and their growing methods for the particular product we most likely would be shocked. So many of the companies are out to make a buck with labeling. .-= Pamela´s last blog post... <a href="http://seedsofnutrition.wordpress.com/2009/08/05/crock-dill-pickles/" rel="nofollow">Crock Dill Pickles:</a> =-.

I think there's a great deal of value in third-party verification systems like the Organic Certification program or the Certified Naturally Grown program. At the same time, there's nothing like getting to know your farmer and getting your own hands into the dirt. We buy farmer direct when possible (-80% of the time) and certified organic the rest. .-= Jenny @ Nourished Kitchen´s last blog post... <a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/-r/nourishedkitchen/-3/bqNJpYjfdn0/" rel="nofollow">Chocolate Mint Mousse</a> =-.
