In short, organic gardening is gardening on the cheap! Non-organic
methods
feed into themselves -- expense builds on expense.

LOL!!!! Those products are cheap? Now I know you're dreaming or
have stock in one of the Co's that produce this stuff!
A measly 4 lb bag of Kelp Meal was $17.99, say $18.00
or almost $130 to do my gardens. And that's just for the Kelp
Meal........ you must live in lala land or are very wealthy.

You use the products incorrectly and you insist on buying the most
expensive (organically certified).

You can stop the justifications. This was the only Kelp Meal to be
found and I must have made 20 phone calls. Are you going to tell me I
can buy, and pay shipping besides, for less than that? There's nothing
on the bag that says it's certified by any org. It's Espoma brand.
Already you're accusing us of using it incorrectly and the bag hasn't
even been opened yet! LOL!!! Funnier yet,... you're accusing the co that
makes it of giving the buyer the WRONG advice. Yoo Hoooo... try reading
the bag.

I buy kelp at a feed mill for under $1 a pound. I
garden 3 times the space you do and my annual sack cost is under $100.
What is it that I'm doing wrong?

So you think I have access to your feed mill? There are no feed mills,
as such, where I live. The last feed mill now supplies the yuppies in
the new subdivisions with fertilizers and weed killers, lawn mowers and
flea spray for their dogs. Why are you assuming everyone has access to
what YOU have?




What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Kelp meal? WTF?
