In follow up to my previous blog, I met with Sandra Webb to find out more about the Simple Gifts Community Garden. (My apologies for the wind affecting sound quality on video).

Other things I learned speaking with Sandra Webb
Did you know that you can use chemicals in an organic garden? Webb recommends visiting the the Organic Materials Review Institute website:
http://www.omri.org/
Additionally, another great site she recommends is the Growing Small Farms website developed by Debbie Ross, Extension Agent:
http://growingsmallfarms.ces.ncsu.edu/
Webb also recommends getting a copy of the book "The New Organic Grower" by Eliot Coleman.
Thanks for checking out my blog and checking out the advertisers on my page!
