I have really appreciated being a part of this group for a few years now. S= ure, you get the occasional troll but I have gotten such great advice and g= uidance from so many that I've come to respect most folks' opinions here.
Which is why I am asking this group: do any of you read or participate in l= awn and/or garden care groups focused on natural growth and solutions (a.k.= a. "organic")? My wife and I are doing our ignorant best with a 35'x15' veg= etable garden and 2/3 acre yard bordered by a creek that feeds into the U.S= .'s "most endangered" (or "most polluted") river, the Potomac. We are highl= y conscious of not using franken-chemicals to drive pests out of the garden= or to beat back the crabgrass, dandelions, and that strange weed with the = little purple-ish flowers=85because every little bit we let into the creek = brings a little more harm to the Potomac and the Chesapeake Bay, one of the= most unusual bodies of water in the world.
So I would appreciate advice from this group of where to find credible peop= le (not the tin-foil brigade wingnuts) who can advise us on how to green-up= our thumbs.
