Best for us all just to recognize this. As a former "self-sufficiency" person, I discovered long ago that there is no such thing. We all depend on other beings, not just human beings. I'm happy to see a discussion of soils; more people need to be aware of how much difference soil nutrition makes. And I totally agree with looking at older ideas and bringing them forward again; I read a lot of older gardening books, not just the Rodale ones but the pre-electricity pre-agribusiness ones from 100 years ago and more. Many good ideas that don't require expensive equipment.

There is a LOT of good knowledge out there. Lots of us have never lost it, but the books can help with unusual problems or changes in your environment.

We find it amazing the amount of simple, proven, workable growing knowledge that has been lost in the past 50-75 years. We are working hard to find and bring back some of this knowledge and share it with everyone who will listen! Please contribute what you know... Chrys-

This reminds me of the way my Dad used to garden over 50 years ago. (He was an organic gardener before the term was commonly used.) My husband is recently retired and we are looking forward to gardening again this summer, so I'm trying to re-learn as much as I can. Please continue with this discussion!
