Just read about this method for farmers to take organic to a new level. While 90% of this involves farms, there is a section on soil (aka Dirt!!) health which is of interest to me. And it should be to you too. Seems the fine folks at The Rodale Institute in Kutztown, PA have taken sustainable and organic certification to a new level. I know that this certainly doesn't apply to my backyard gardens, but I always try to keep a finger on the pulse of what this group is researching. R. I. Rodale was a pioneer back in the 40's for organic practices. Talk about cutting edge and being way before your time. Check out their site - it is chock full of information that even a small gardener like myself can use. I intend on watching what happens with this new certification and how their soil section can benefit my growing practices.
Until next time, happy organic gardening everyone!
