I think we all know that I'm not big on chemicals in my garden. I wouldn't eat chemical fertalizers, so why would I ever put them in my food?

I am such a slacker blogger. At least I can take comfort in the fact that my slacking is a direct result of increases in work, family time, and even a little bit of leisure reading.
