Over the years I have made my main goal to try and teach the right way from the wrong way of gardening. There are many ways to do things right. There are others who give information with the intention of filling their parking lot and bank account through misinformation. A good example of this are garden retailers that preach that organics are not only the safest but the best all around way to have healthy soil and plants. Shame on them! I gave an answer to what real environmental experts have said in a previous newsletter. They stated that both traditional and organic products can take very good care of your landscape. There are many new pesticides and fertilizers of both types to work with. Two points to consider about organics: 1.) Organic products are low in available nutrients and much more expensive 2.) Organic grown fruits and vegetables are no healthier or safer than the standard products used for years.

Those retailers that choose to go only organic are really cheating and misleading their customers!
