We’re stoked…
In this interview with John Hartman, CEO of OceanGrown, you will learn about possibly the most important technology in agriculture / gardening in the last century.
This is a game changer.
You now have the ability to grow highly mineralized foods in your backyard… and what’s even better is that the agriculture industry is looking into OceanGrown as a viable solution to NPK fertilizers.
Yep, you heard that right.
Good news for all!
Take a look…

Hello gang!
Gardening is my #1 passion in life and I can’t wait for spring! I’ve just inherited a farm with plenty of organic land so this year I’m able to move from my back yard into BIG timeland! WOOOP! I’ve got a site dedicated to organic gardening. I’ve got quite a few pics of last years garden. Check out my “salad bar” lol. It’s 3 feet wide and over 20 feet long. I can’t tell you how it felt to be able to pick 3 pounds of organic, garden grown spinach and a few pounds of lettuce and eat it 2 minutes after it was picked. I’ve also JUST started an indoor garden too (because it’s still DAMN cold here in Canada) so anyone that’s interested in following that just keep checking back on the site.

Yes!! You guys actually seen one of my gardens before! Heading to Maine in May.. You guys have yet to visit Maine!!
Camille and i are turning the in-laws front yard into a mega garden and will grow and grow and grow!!!
9:15 pm on February 23rd, 2010
Yes.Kevin Very good video -Excellent!!! John Hartman knowledge is awesome and he does not lack for his wealth of knowledge.Thank you Mr.Hartman .Would like to hear him talk on the future Ramifications that will come to us here in the USA from Monsanto ,Archer Daniels Midland,and other -GMO -COMPANIES that are FOREVER changing the worlds landscape. Like the shirt to.
9:18 pm on February 23rd, 2010
I have a front yard garden.
I never hear of organisms requiring lead, mercury, fluorine, and aluminum even though they are naturally occuring. The amount or form of these elements in sea water may make them inert.
9:26 pm on February 23rd, 2010
Just in the winter time I sprout sunflower greens and wheetgrass.
9:27 pm on February 23rd, 2010
We just started regardening last summer. John built many really awesome raised beds and a perimeter fence to keep the deer in their own area. The crop yeild was poor, but so was the time investment by me, who was supposed to make things grow. So looking forward to this year and some real success. Ordered the Ocean product and look forward to hearing more about it!
9:44 pm on February 23rd, 2010
This is the best interview I’ve seen. I’ts good science, and it reveals how irresponsible the industry is with our health. Yes, I am a gardener, and up until now the only way for me was to gather seaweed wash it, sun dry it, and then mix it into the soil. Thanks Kevin.
9:53 pm on February 23rd, 2010
Yes! I have been gardening for 2 years now. LOVE it!! I really enjoyed this show… THANKS!! I would also like to hear his thoughts on Monsanto and other GMO companies and the impact they will have and are having on our landscape.
@Jordan~ Really enjoyed the pictures on your site! That looks amazing. Gives me something to strive for!
9:53 pm on February 23rd, 2010
We’re limited to patio space at our townhouse so all plants are grown in containers. We have a dwarf peach and pear tree as well as a fig tree that bears some tasty fruit. Other than this, just culinary herbs and catnip for the kitties.
I would love to grow pea and sunflower greens and wheatgrass. Are these fairly easy to grow?
9:57 pm on February 23rd, 2010
Yes!! I love to garden and started gardens in several backyards. I am just going to start growing (rare) seedlings indoors. Awesome video!! This interview was great. I loved the science about it and can’t wait to try it out and mineralize the soil! Thanks!!!
People need to get reconnected with their food and having them garden is a great way to start!!!
9:58 pm on February 23rd, 2010
I’ve grow all kinds of tropical plants (indoors) and Maples and bonsai (outdoors). I’ve never heard of this product before. I’ve just started sprouting in glass jars indoors. I have still yet to grow Wheatgrass, but I have never used any “fertilizer” on my sprouts. I was wondering if this “oceangrown” product can be used to grow sprouts and Wheatgrass? He mentions its use on a large scale, but my question is can I use it to grow sprouts and wheatgrass with better results.
10:03 pm on February 23rd, 2010
Yes, I have a organic vegetable garden. Planting, caring for & harvesting your own food is a powerful feeling! You’ll love it Kevin & Annmarie.
10:16 pm on February 23rd, 2010
Gardening is also a passion of mine! I do square foot gardening which is beautiful and less labor intensive – along with high yeilds!! Very limited weeding which I love! Mel Bartholemew has a wonderful book. Very much enjoyed todays show…not only for my gardening but hopefully prospectively for the farmers that are all around me! I will pass the message to the farmers I know! Would be wonderful to see CHANGE in this area – before it is tooooo late!
10:26 pm on February 23rd, 2010
Growing up in Europe, my dad had a vegetable garden so every year we had fresh produce, all seasonal and organic and guess what we had most: Kale and other leafy greens. My dad never used artificial fertilizer but instead he used menure. I never developed real green thumbs. However, In our back yard I grew some arugula and sweet cherry tomatoes last year and they tasted absolutely delicious Now I’m growing wheatgrass steadily and also sunflower sprouts. The taste of sprouts is wonderful and I guess that this and my husband’s health is what keeps me motivated to continue. I hope to plant cucumbers this year to save some money since we drink a lot of green juice Hippocrates style.
10:30 pm on February 23rd, 2010
I love to garden. Don’t always have the time but it is so wonderful to watch the process of life in plants. And of course the taste of the food you produce can’t be beat. It restores peace to connect to the earth and know that you can feed yourself and your neighbor as anyone who has ever grown squash or plume tomatoes can attest.
10:44 pm on February 23rd, 2010
Yes! And I was wondering if/when you guys would start gardening, too. Last year we started “re-gardening” (as someone posted above; love that term) again after being discouraged in previous attempts. This time we built raised beds and built a greenhouse over one group of them in order to extend our growing season at both ends. So this year I will start everything earlier! I don’t do well with indoor plants (keep overwatering them) so there is not one speck of green in the house–except for the sprouts that I do occasionally. Got a crop ready to harvest tomorrow, I think.
LOVED this interview–am going to watch it again! Thank you.
Connie
10:44 pm on February 23rd, 2010
I garden in my backyard in the San Francisco Bay Area and the mediterranean climate here allows growing greens year round. The kale and chard grow like weeds all winter, no maintenance at all. The summers are more difficult as it can get so hot and dry for months and there is constant watering required, I want and need to learn more about how to grow dry tomatoes, etc.
I grow wheatgrass in trays, using Azomite, which is a rock mineral containing all the minerals (thus a-z). It is organic, but is it sustainable?
I understand that Ocean’s Grown is ordinary ocean water, what but processing does it go through? I’d like to know more about how it is made.
Thank you, great show!

Heck Yea, devote all possible space to veg gardening. Food Not Lawns! Great book by Healther Flores…a must have.
11:23 pm on February 23rd, 2010
This is the best interview I’ve seen so far. He knows what he’s talking about.
We garden about 1/2 acre and use mainly vegetable compost … will start using rock powders this year, for the minerals. And the rock powder is $6 a ton at the local gravel yard … which is basically free.
11:31 pm on February 23rd, 2010
I’d love to hear more about their product: harvesting, benefits, effects for the home gardener, etc.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I want to revitalize my soil and this may be just the answer.
11:35 pm on February 23rd, 2010
yes have a plot ready for some seedlings we have a lot of clay. Would like to know how to use seaweed though in soil.
Thanks again Patricia from Australia
11:40 pm on February 23rd, 2010
Yes indeed. Great News…never sell the rights. Many wonderful innovations have sold and buried. Beware!!!
Now Kev….A number of wonderful books were mentioned here that may translate into informative interviews. Squarefoot gardening is perfect for RV life.
And we have a number community gardening movements happening in CA…another source for great interviews and a great idea for folks who take part in your 30 day challenges. You can introduce them to gardening and/or sprouting at the very least.
Excited to follow your growing journey. My black thumbs are perfect for greening the earth…HA!!!

not a gardner but really interested in urban gardening being that i live in an apt. do not have a clue where/how to start but definetely going to do it soon. if anyone has any info on urban gardening, please let me know. thanks
12:52 am on February 24th, 2010
Nice. I hear David Wolfe pours ocean water directly on his plants in Hawaii. I’ve been using Azomite mineral clay, which also contains all minerals A to Z. And is edible itself.
12:54 am on February 24th, 2010
Yes, just started back since change in work schedule allowed me to do so for the first time in ten years. Did completely organic and had best garden ever. Tomatoes, bush beans, carrots, romaine and Simpson lettuce, collards, kale, onions, Swiss chard, cayenne pepper, eggplant and several herbs grew with very little disease and all completely organic. I used only seaweed, compost, weed tea, home grown worm castings and a little commercial chicken feathers and bone meal (but did loosen the soil by “double digging” which provides better aeration. Very little water necessary due to use of compost. We do get pretty good annual rainfall in South Florida which doesn’t hurt!
BTW, Azomite is a type of rock dust or rock powder generally deposited by glaciers. Jersey Greensand is also a product of the ancient oceans. I used unwashed seaweed without any problems. As far as I’m concerned any natural product from the sea will be beneficial precisely because of the mineral content being added to the soil and helping enrich the environment for soil life –worms, beneficial nematodes, etc. My experience is far higher brix (sugar & mineral content) and greatly increased resistance to disease and insects result from inclusion of sea minerals in soil enrichment program.
1:05 am on February 24th, 2010
Awesome show! I’m not a gardener at the moment but that will change soon I hope! I love gardening and I really enjoyed this interview.
Take a look at a product called Terra Biosa. It’s a bacteria product that you can expand yourself easily enough (one liter makes 33 liters). It will turn any soil into amazing soil in a very short time. It’s different than using a nutrient solution so not in competition but complementary. It can be sprayed on trees, beekeepers use it for healthy bees, golf courses can go organic. It takes about a year to turn crappy soil into luscious soil.
Of course they’re not going to tell you this on the package but you can drink the stuff and fix your bowels while you’re at it too. I think the US has some kind of labeling issue with that so they make a human version but I’ve drank the Terra Biosa one and it’s fine.
You guys should sell the Biosa products in your store too. It will restore the soil and make those minerals work even more effectively–sort of like good bacteria in our bowels help us to extract more nutrients from our food. It can be used to break down compost in no time flat too. Very complimentary to Ocean Grown.
I just googled to see if I could find a good site and found this funny post:
http://www.bokashiman.com/2009/11/biosa-and-skunk-odour/ Biosa gets rid of skunk odor!
http://greatday18.ca/ has more info. It actually does a lot more than what is online, like restoring damaged rivers and stagnant water. I learned about this when I lived in Europe. It really works well and is a very cost effective way to heal soil and raise healthy plants. I could go on and on all night about this stuff. Come to Vancouver and do an interview with Al or go to Niagara Falls and interview Niels, the fellow how is responsible for North America.
Please, more gardening shows!
1:50 am on February 24th, 2010
The gardening I have done aside (fairly close to what opportunity I’ve had to cultivate that way:) , I’m born & raised mostly in an urban environment, from parents who had like no interest that way, if memory serves, altogether. So what interest I’ve developed into gardening, I feel, I’ve come into honestly. Not that outside inspiration, urgings, support isn’t honest in its own way too.
The nice thing is, plants grow all on their own. Our role is just to be there when needed. Most of our green potential goes black from not watering, or over watering, or over fertilizing, or starting with bad conditions, etc.
BTW, how we relate to life, vigilantly, gently…cultivates us, our selves, as well as plants, animals, children, loved ones in our care. So gardening is better framed as caring for plants. Plants do grow “just fine, thanks” themselves, conditions being adequate. So indoors we take on a serious responsibility we so very often dont or haven’t come to terms with…yet.
At this point I just want to express sadness at the domestication of humanity, let alone plants: check out One Straw Revolution by Masanobu Fukuoka, a book from, i think, the early ’70’s, which I believe inspired permaculture. I believe many attempts to faithfully reproduce Fukuoka’s results have failed because of the approach not being adapted to the region & immediate situation. Look up Sepp Holzer in Austria for a sucessful northern adaptation. Basically, try to replicate feral, natural conditions, respecting native diversity as well as the symbiotic relationship between microbes, mushrooms & plants. Will watch the vid tomorrow. G’nigh…
2:22 am on February 24th, 2010
Hi Kevin
Thanks for the great interview!
I know about Ocean Grown, but have not used
it in my garden, as yet.
I love to garden, but right now with the drought we are having in San Diego, I have not planted new seeds and hope to have my garden up again soon.
Also, visit my blog http://www.rawsomegal.wordpress.com and read about my 42 day cleanse using coconut water and stevia in my water, and finished mid-January. I have also written about my transition back to food. I continue to write about health related topics and post daily (off on weekends). To read about my cleanse from day 1, click on December 2009. Share this with others who may be interested and I love to receive comments. You can also subscribe so you will always receive the latest posts in you email inbox.
Namaste!

I love love love to garden, and it’s been warm enough here in CT lately to get me in the mood even though it’s really too early to do much of anything. So I flip through seed catalogs, and last weekend I ordered raspberry and blueberry bushes from a MA nursery!
We converted our side and front lawns into garden space last year, built a cold frame and have done a lovely and easy tee pee for the kids with morning glories, zukes, tomatoes, peas and more creating the tent for them to hang out in.
I’m a big fan of permaculture and letting the garden fertilize itself as much as possible, as well as mixing it up aesthetically to have a beautiful AND functional garden space. Creative Vegetable Gardening by joy larkcom is a favorite of mine, as well as Gardening when it counts. Love Fukuoka, will have to check out Sepp Holzer for adapted version! Thanks for the tip, Nick.
Am off to rewatch the episode and learn more! Thanks for all you guys do!
5:31 am on February 24th, 2010
Great Video Kevin!
I’ve got some ocean grown and want to start using it.
How do I use Ocean Grown to grow wheat grass, sunflower greens and pea greens?
Do I use it in the soak water or just when watering them in the trays, or both? How much should I use?
Look forward to learning more about this.
7:23 am on February 24th, 2010
Can’t wait to hear about your adventures in gardening! Have wanted to try container gardening since all I have is an apartment balcony but just never felt confident enough. The most adventurous I have been so far is sprouting a couple batches of lentils.
8:14 am on February 24th, 2010
Use ocean water in a 17 to one ratio – too much salt will kill plants. I will use seaweed for mulch (tomatoes love it). Or compost it. use seaweed to cover garden for winter. Some people suggest rinsing it first to get excess salt off. It does attract deer however.
8:53 am on February 24th, 2010
Yes everybody you can certainly grow 92 minerals wheatgrass using OceanGrown!!! I do it myself, its the best wheatgrass ever. (although i prefer barley or oatgrass, which works just as well)
Works for sprouts, works for HEMP, works for goji berrys, works for EVERYTHING!!
if you understand french and wonder how to grow your own goji plant check this out! http://www.vitaliteaccrue.ca/plante-de-goji

I do raised bed gardening. We are expanding our garden this year. I already have potatoes planted and tomatoes as starts. We will be planting corn soon and cucumbers.
I hated the garden as a kid but now as a mom, I love the garden.
9:42 am on February 24th, 2010
Wow, fascinating – thanks for this. It seems to me that I could water my plants with sea water then to get the same results. I don’t know if I can get this product in the UK, but it would be easy to nip to the beach and fill a few bottles with seawater.
I did a quick search online and found an article about a farm using diluted seawater on their crops:
http://bit.ly/de5LaA
My next question is – how do I purify the seawater without losing minerals? (is that even possible).
10:20 am on February 24th, 2010
Yes, I do indoor hydroponic gardening. I grow my own organic food and I help feed the local neighboehood, which helps eliminate large corporate farming operations that mass polute our environment. I have just developed a lighting system which recovers 93%-96% of all energy put into it for off-the-grid and/or inexpensive indoor grow-lighting. My intention is to market affordable hydroponic kits for everyone everywhere by the end of this year. Sustainable agriculture is where it’s at, and it all starts at home…
10:21 am on February 24th, 2010
FINALLY there’s something I’m ahead of you guys on.
I’ve been using OceanGrown for soaking all my mason jar sprouts/sunflower seeds/wheatgrass seeds, and then I water the sunflower and wheatgrass trays with it.
So, my ego is thrilled to be able to say “Hey! I’m already doing that!”
Great show,
Dianne
10:41 am on February 24th, 2010
We moved our family to Iowa a couple years ago, so this year will be our third garden. Every year it gets bigger and this year will be no exception. I tried spinach last year and so far it is my favorite freshly grown food. I had no idea how incredibly delicious it is (even though I eat it all the time) because picked fresh is infinitely better tasting than store bought. I couldn’t get enough!
This year I want to try and work out a program with a youth organization in town to bring inner city kids out to our place in the country once a week and give them their own raised bed to plant, tend, and harvest food for their families.
Blessings!

On-again, off-again gardener and sprouter here. My life has been so chaotic during the past decade that I’ve been unable to create and maintain a decent food garden space, but I may be able to do so this year. Meanwhile, I usually sprout alfalfa and red wheat berries (alfalfa for smoothies and salads, wheat for making Rejuvelac and breads). I believe the best results in gardening come from co-creative efforts between the grower and the nature intelligences responsible for forming and developing plant life, where the gardener receives intuition/inspiration and puts it into effect.
The more food we can grow naturally and eat, the better off we’ll be, so everyone who can should grow something
Bon appetit,
Eric
12:11 pm on February 24th, 2010
Kevin,
After 10 minutes I came away with little information about the new product that can produce great results. Am I supposed to just buy
it because the guy in the t-shirt said so. Where does the product come from? Manufactured or mined? How long has it been in use?
thanks.
12:54 pm on February 24th, 2010
Yes, I have several organic gardens and fruit trees too. I am delighted to hear about this natural product and wonder if it is available here in Canada?? I am not close to an ocean so can’t gather my own seaweed.
Very interesting program. Please … MORE.
1:04 pm on February 24th, 2010
Aloha!
Man we love how you just tie it all together!!! Great interview!
We are on our 2nd garden since we moved to Maui and we just LOVE it!!
I never new how fun gardening could be. If you have never gardened, or think you have a black thumb, I suggest just starting to garden, the rest will come! Promise. Its like the garden talks to you! I swear!!! It lets you know the things you dont know… Im not sure how this works, I was not prepared for this to happen, but it just does. I suppose if you just listen…. I had no idea how to grow anything?? How to harvest?? Soil stuff?? Nothin…. we started with a box garden, then planted seeds-stuff that we already ate- lettucy greens, kale, chard, spinach, tomatoes, carrots, beets, squash, cucumber. It is so fun!! All the sudden you have all these sprouts coming up. The hard work is in the prepping of the dirt and box. Then you just make sure they stay moist… As long as you water, pretty soon you have these gi-normous food producing plants!!!! You form a little relationship with them. Its awesome. They will let you know if something not right. More water, less water, needs nutrients, etc. You will be guided so to speak. It is amazing!
And the food is amazing. Something about eating something that started as a seed in your hand… its magical. It really makes you appreciate the forces of life that we cannot see! At least I do!!!!
Glad you guys are gettin in the dirt finally! You will have a blast! Good luck!
1:36 pm on February 24th, 2010
thanks guys
2:08 pm on February 24th, 2010
My wife and I love gardening. It use to consist of flowers and a few potted tomato and pepper plants. However, since July of ‘09 we have made organic alkaline food our eating life style and thus come to appreciate more fully how important it is to grow our own food naturally using organic seeds and organic fertiliser.
We really appreciate your ‘Renegade Channel’ of information.
2:15 pm on February 24th, 2010
This episode was long due;) we must be on the same wavelength because i’m just starting to grow things and so this came a the perfect time..i had left a comment about growing wheat grass and so i hope u do a show on that…Thanks guys! and keep on filming more ‘Epilodes’…lol
3:06 pm on February 24th, 2010
I totally love his T-shirt, and I am so impressed with all the people who’ve posted esp ppl like William Farver feeding the neighborhood – wow – I only grow sprouts including sunflower sprouts & wheatgrass in my EasyGreen automatic sprout machine cause I live in a 3rd floor north and west-facing condo (no sunlight) in Cement City (Chicago) & have a pitch black thumb anyway. I just wanted to say to Sue that I don’t think you need to purify the OceanGrown cause it’s like triple tested to be free of impurities cause it comes from way far out in the ocean where it is naturally free of impurities – and to Patrick Mellan, no, you don’t have to buy anything because of a t-shirt – this is just an introductory interview limited on YouTube to be 10 minutes – perhaps targeted more to people who are already familiar with the product and have read, for example, Kevin’s interview in his Water Secrets series with OceanGrown – it explains so much more in so much more detail with both science and anecdotal reasons why OceanGrown is good stuff. However, I would buy it just cause I love his T-shirt. I think growing your own food is the ultimate coolest thing on earth – someday, I really wanna be in a position where I can do this – yes, it is on my Vision Board, Kevin.
3:30 pm on February 24th, 2010
Great show. I only garden a bit.I started growing sprouts last year. I have a dwarf tangerine tree which I am really enjoying right now. Also have mint and rosemary. I get to enjoy figs, lemons, plums, grapes and apricots from my neighbors trees. I’ll see about growing a few more things this year.
Happy gardening!
3:35 pm on February 24th, 2010
Yes I garden. I have for many years and each year it gets larger. My parents gardened when I was growing up, no I didn’t have to weed the garden, they were in full control. But I have a six year old daughter and she enjoys helping me in the garden. Last year my garden was just under an 1/8 of an acre. but this year I am using as much of the backyard and front and side yards as I can. I use horse manure and cover my garden in the fall with the fallen leaves. I also make (and sell) dried fruit, also raw dried fruit, meaning it is dehydrated at less then 118 degrees, the waste from the fruit is composted and put back into my garden. I saw one of your shows on rock dust and thought I would look more into that as well. Last year I fed four families with my garden. A few local farmers will purchase my produce this year. I am very use to eating from my own garden. I also like going out into the garden to get what I need for the morning green smoothie.
4:32 pm on February 24th, 2010
This year I will be growing my very first garden. Finally I am in a house with lots of space to do so. I am thrilled to see this product and will definitely be using OceanGrown. Thank you so much for all the wonderful information you offer. You both have made a huge impact on my raw food journey.
Namaste

Yes, I’m a gardener. I’m currently doing an experiment with Kangen water. Its unique properties have been shown to germinate seeds more rapidly and increase growth. So I have 2 identical pots of seeds and am watering one with tap water and the other with Kangen water. I’ll be curious to see the results.
6:11 pm on February 24th, 2010
The world is my garden. Your welcome to sleep among my flowers anytime.
7:57 pm on February 24th, 2010
I like gardening. My mom always had about an acre garden growing up and canned a lot. I live in a apartment, but we have a small hydroponics setup that is proving quite successful. We are growing different types of lettuce, swiss chard, etc.
8:42 pm on February 24th, 2010
My flowers are glorious, but my veggies are why I support local farmers’ markets.
After all my trouble and toil (and money), I can get better food at less price at the farmers’ market, plus I get to visit with the farmers. Great people.
but I plant veggies every year, always hoping, always trying.
Right now I have a kitchen garden of wheat grass in trays, plus I am trying lettuce. Somehow the soil sprouts mold.
My dogs didn’t like the doggie sprout mixture, so we ate them in our salad.
Thank God for farmers.
12:01 am on February 25th, 2010
Thanks so much for this interview! I want to start gardening but I’m gathering knowledge first by watching videos like this.
12:58 am on February 25th, 2010
I love gardening. We have various fruit trees, but we have to share the fruit with the critters. I would love to grow more stuff.
We also have a cat. I recall David Wolfe saying he did something regarding his keeping his cats out of the garden, but he never said what it was.
We want more gardening shows, Kevin!!
11:49 am on February 25th, 2010
Yes I love to garden.
This year we are moving our garden to the North side of our property for maximum sun exposure. We are also taking advantage of the “restart” to switch to Square Foot Gardening.
Great video. Thanks for passing on this information.
12:08 pm on February 25th, 2010
We do garden. My husband is the master gardener and I am just his humble helper but I intend to show him the info about oceangrown. It is so much fun to learn from people who take food and food prep seriously. Keep up the good work.
2:52 pm on February 26th, 2010
I’m moving soon and one of my biggest requirements for the new house is a great garden for growing vegetables and herbs. Can’t wait to start growing kale, cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, garlic, strawberries, and gogi berries! Plus, parsley, basil, rosemary, and mint. Lavendar too.
I don’t have experience gardening and want to be all organic so very happy that you did this video. I’m trying to learn all I can before I move.
Thanks also to those who made book recommendations.
8:02 pm on February 26th, 2010
what is the “corn study” that he mentions in the video?
12:19 am on February 27th, 2010
Gotten so inspired since eating raw (& reading Anastasia) that at 60, after not gardening in over a decade, we are moving to a sunny knoll with 2.2 acres just to grow our own berries, greens (including)year round with a greenhouse. We live in western NC & look forward to native pawpaws which taste like mango & banana combined, & are too delicate to ship so haven’t been commercialized! When I open a pkg of Woodstock Farms strawberries & they are white, I KNOW we can do better! When a certain amt of fecal matter is ok on spinach I KNOW I need to be growing my own! We are inspired by biodynamic & the minerals they apply homeopathically. Minerals are going to be the new awareness/focus this time around!
8:19 pm on February 27th, 2010
I do not garden but my grandparents have (mom’s side) in the past.

We started gardening last year. we did not get much of the spinach, it just did not come up. The beets and red chard came up great. The tomatoes that were in full sun did good but the ones that had partial shade never took off. We will be trying again this year! We are looking forwar to more spinach and hopefully some watermelon.
