I hope they leave Mark alone! Tired of employers using those "Test" practices to control people by diminishing their privacy and out of the blue usually.... Should be totally based on professionalism , expertise and productivity totally!
I agree that outdoor plants have the relationship with bugs but we face a major issue these days , one that people like you are starting to show light on the differences between organic and chem grows and how they affect each other. Organic is almost impossible unless done entirely indoors now but if we can convince our nations leaders that chem is not good for anything inthe long run maybe we can go back to organic again? That would rock , using mother nature as our teacher is always best <3
I was asked why I did not argue with you before or get upset with your critism.... Fact is the information you shared inr esponse was totally up my alley and your method of thinking is where I want to aim for!
I noticed that you are very modest with the amount of medicine you use and that endulging compared to most of us is quite small. Well see there is something that people can learn from too! When you can create your own meds and pinpoint your prefferences you do not need as much meds. A lesson most of us need to learn. lol
Thank you for everything you have taught me GF and I look forward to my next lesson too eh! Much love to you and your husband from Wild rose country Canada!

Oh that is just so sweet and kind. And I do try my hardest to be diplomatic when expressing my radical organic views, which sometimes gets lost. In past years I was not always so rational. Organic methods are all I use. Inside or outside. It takes a garden no matter where, at least three years to fully revert back to a balanced situation. One where you will have active beneficial insects, and pathogens. Not all pathogens are harmful to growing.
As few as ten years ago, no. It would not be as easy. But now everyone is on the bandwagon. There are so many good products out there for organic growers all one need to is decide which one you want and use it. We can even buy quality compost, quality aerobic compost tea, etc. The problems people have are with their view, not with insects. People have a need to grow perfect plants, not one hole, not one chew, not one blemish. Okay then, not achievable in this lifetime or any other, but with chemical methods you can come close. There's one problem. YOU POISON the planet that way. Not YOU, the proverbial you.
I will hopefully prove that growing outdoors is not any more subject to problems than it is inside. Inside you have problems with lighting, fertilizers, and also insects! Outside you have the power of the sun. Well, anyway, my next journal will be evidence one way or the other.
Thanks for such a beautiful post and Tassie, you never have to wait for me to reply to something. Anybody can post anything which is acceptable to the 420 Magazine right on my journals. No restrictions at all other than whatever the rules mandate. If allowed, you can use any language and any topic. If it changes, I'll let every one know.
They look like they are plastic they are so perfect...
