Can I pay UGC dues at your booth at the WDFM? That would be supremely convenient. I’d even volunteer to staff the booth this Saturday (2/4) to collect dues if that would help at such short notice.

I thought of using tires to make garden beds a couple years ago but then became pretty concerned about all the chemicals used in producing car tires and if these would leach out into the soil. I don’t know the science behind it or anything but it seems like it could be an issue.

Organic gardening has become increasingly popular with the movement back to natural foods and unprocessed products. Many people wonder how to start and organic garden.

It i\’s actually not difficult, expensive, or time consuming. The toughest part is getting started because once you have the base for your garden the rest is just easy maintenance. And you will love the quality of the food you grow and knowing it is healthy for you.
