Not until they salt my yard and make hunting illegal.

We’ve been doing the weedless/lasagna method for about 5 years now. The soil in one garden, that had been a gravel parking lot (seriously), is now rich dark and fluffy. Still gravely but the tomatoes and peppers don’t seem to mind one bit. I was picking 5 gallon buckets of maters from that plot 2 summers ago. And it’s never been tilled once. I’ve got my winter squash there this year, and they seem perfectly happy with it.

That’s winter squash I use to make breakfast bread that my kids eat. Pumpkin bread is a big deal at my house in the winter. With brown sugar, cinnamon then toasted and buttered. I save big bucks grown my own ‘pumpkins’.

It’s the classic, ‘they only do it for the profit’ ruse.

"It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest." - Adam Smith

I’m really not into chemicals for human consumption...

I enjoy consuming many chemicals, H2O just for starters.

I was not referring to water, obviously-I don’t think any of us here are dumb enough not to know its chemical symbol, the other common ones-I was referring to man-made chemical additives in food, as was the article.

I agree; I’m not a health food nut, but I do like to know what I’m eating.

The author of the article gave free market advice to avoid GMOs if that is what you choose to do.

I grow most of my veggies, and with any luck, I’ll have a place to hunt this deer season. I live where some of my neighbors have enough land to keep cattle and hogs-some slaughter in the Fall, and sometimes in Spring, so you can buy or barter meat.

I don’t know if I’d be considered one or not-but I also like to know what I’m cooking/eating, where it came from, etc.

Mixed with a heaping helping of anticapitalist Bravo Sierra about how agricultural advances didn't benefit me and Luddite dimwittery about "genetic engineers us[ing] bizarre tools".

I saw that, and couldn’t believe anyone could possibly not know they were discussing water, if they even finished the 5th grade...

You can save money at the grocery store and as an added bonus you may not live as long and have to buy groceries at all!

Have you seen this guy’s garden? He’s sort of a friendly nutjob. His raised beds are something else though. Wish I could get as motivated as him.
