“Chris, As usual you have provided me with some awesome information. Maybe that's why you're one of my favorite herbalists! My biggest issue is to get my hubs to change his garden planting methods. He's old school, if it was good for his daddy, it's good enough for him. He works so hard when he doesn't have to. I am going to MAKE him try the straw bale system. I've slowly gotten him to attempt companion planting. He still tills, mounds and plants his seeds in rows (that end not loop) and weeds and picks off bugs for hours every day and we only plant 1/4 to 1/2 acre. It used to be much bigger. Your way makes so much sense but, I can't seem to get him to try. I will continue "harping" until he hears my verses. He's only 66 but he is already seeing the "slow down" that comes with age. Maybe I can get through to him that this would be so much easier and he'd have the energy to continue gardening for a long time, as he really enjoys it. I can't do much in the garden due to my disabilities but, I get to wash, prep, can, freeze and dehydrate the crop. We also plant a culinary herb garden, a medicinal herb garden and a flower garden. So I am just as busy as he is just a little later. Thanks to you I am going to try fermenting and pressure canning this year. I've learned so much from you! Thank you. Like said at Christmas, need a second Mom?
Have a blessed day,
Dee Wolford”
