You would have had to be there to hear each member’s reason for being there.  I didn’t hear anybody say we don’t use pesticides or herbicides, and our only fertilizers are manure and compost.  Maybe by now it goes without saying.  Joyce told about the bio-reactor workshop she and Ron attended and our plans to make one.  You can learn what it is and how to build one at the following link.  Go to page 8 to see what it looks like.  What amazes me the most are the air tunnels and the one-minute-a-day watering- on-a-timer routine.
