100 Heirloom Tomatoes for the American Garden

100 Heirloom Tomatoes for the American Garden Preserved by families, collected by seed savers, passed around among farmers, heirloom tomatoes are now being sought out by more and more home gardeners as an alternative to the bland sameness of commercial hybrids. And happily, these growers are discovering that heirlooms are not only vastly more flavorful, but are just as hardy and easy to cultivate as the hybrids. Dr. Carolyn J. Male, who has raised more than a thousand heirloom tomatoes, here presents 100 consistently top-performing varieties for North American gardeners. There are red tomatoes, yellow tomatoes, green, orange, purple, and even black tomatoes--like Black from Tula, with green shoulders and a dusky rose-black coloring. There are cherry tomatoes, too--try Martino's Roma, a paste with spectacular yield and built-in tolerance of blossom end rot. For every gardener, no matter how

Everything I Want to Do Is Illegal

Everything I Want to Do Is Illegal War Stories from the Local Food Front by Joel Salatin Drawing upon 40 years’ experience as an ecological farmer and marketer, Joel Salatin explains with humor and passion why Americans do not have the freedom to choose the food they purchase and eat. From child labor regulations to food inspection, bureaucrats provide themselves sole discretion over what food is available in the local marketplace. Their system favors industrial, global corporate food systems and discourages community-based food commerce, resulting in homogenized selection, mediocre quality, and exposure to nonorganic farming practices. Salatin’s expert insight explains why local food is expensive and difficult to find and will illuminate for the reader a deeper understanding of the industrial food complex.

Unfortunately, many urban dwellers avoid gardening due to a perceived lack of space.

Holy Shit Managing Manure To Save Mankind by Gene Logsdon Illustrations by Brooke Budner “With a combina-tion of deep knowledge, longtime farming experience, and great humor, Gene Logsdon tells us everything we don't know about human and animal wastes, and what to do about it. As the author writes, 'Sooner or later we have to live in the same world as our colons.' Not to mention the wastes of all the animals we raise for food! This is the book to read if you give a crap about crap.” —Sim Van der Ryn, Author of The Toilet Papers In his insightful new book, Holy Shit, Managing Manure To Save Mankind, contrary farmer Gene Logsdon provides the inside story of manure—our greatest, yet most misunderstood, natural resource. He begins by lamenting a modern society that not only throws away both animal and human manure—worth billions of dollars in fertil-

izer value—but that spends a staggering amount of money to do so. This wastefulness makes even less sense as the supply of mined or chemically synthesized fertilizers dwindles and their cost skyrockets. In fact, he argues, if we do not learn how to turn our manures into fertil-izer to keep food production in line with increasing population, our civilization, like so many that went before it, will inevitably decline. With his trademark humor, his years of experience writing about both farming and waste management, and his uncanny eye for the small but important details, Logsdon artfully describes how to manage farm manure, pet manure, and human manure to make fertilizer and humus. He covers the field, so to speak, discussing topics

The various chemicals used in beekeeping have, for the past decades, held Varroa Destructor, a mite, and other major pests at bay, but chemical resistance is building and evolution threatens to overtake the best that laboratory chemists have to offer. In fact, there is evidence that chemical treatments are making the problem worse. Natural Beekeeping flips the script on traditional approaches by proposing a program of selective breeding and natural hive management. Conrad brings together the best organic and natural approaches to keeping honeybees healthy and productive. Readers will learn about nontoxic methods of controlling mites, eliminating American foulbrood disease (without the use of antibiotics), breeding strategies, and

Permaculture

Permaculture Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustain-ability David Holmgren brings into sharper focus the powerful and still evolving Permaculture concept he pioneered with Bill Mollison in the 1970s. It draws together and integrates 25 years of thinking and teaching to reveal a whole new way of understanding and action behind a simple set of design principles. The 12 design principles are each represented by a positive action statement, an icon and a traditional proverb or two that captures the essence of each principle. Holmgren draws a correlation between every aspect of how we organize our lives, communities and landscapes and our ability to creatively adapt to the ecological realities that shape human destiny. For students and teachers of Permaculture this book provides something more fundamental and distilled than Mollison's en-cyclopedic Designers Manual. For the general reader it pro-

And their grandparents before them. In fact, saving seeds is as old as gardening itself. Why then is it such a neglected component of gardening today? Many say that because seeds from catologs are so cheap we don’t need to save our own. Have you figured out lately what you spend on seeds each year to grow the same plant? (And doesn’t it seem to be a little more each year?) Now multiply that figure by the number of years you expect to have a garden. Adds up, doesn’t it? But even if it still doesn’t seem like a lot, the bottom line is that it’s money you just don’t have to spend!

Seed to Seed

Seed to Seed Seed Saving and Growing Techniques for Vegetable Gardeners by Suzanne Ashworth Foreword by Kent Whealy “An estimated 60 million Americans grow a portion of their own food in a vegetable garden. Their planting needs are supplied by 255 mail order seed companies, countless local outlets for seeds and plants, and the ever-present grocery store seed rack . . . There have always been a substantial minority of gardeners, however, who bypass the garden seed industry completely by saving their own seeds from year to year. Some of these seed sav-ers, remnants of a recently lost peasant agriculture which purchased nothing that could be produced at home, are still planting the same vegetable varieties that their great-grandparents grew. Other new converts to seed saving may be trying to save something special discovered along the way, or to obtain unique plant material not available

millet, rice, spelt, flax, and even beans and sunflowers. More and more Americans are seeking out locally grown foods, yet one of the real stumbling blocks to their efforts has been finding local sources for grains, which are grown mainly on large, distant corporate farms. At the same time, commodity prices for grains—and the products made from them—have skyrocketed due to rising energy costs and increased demand. In this book, Gene Logsdon proves that anyone who has access to a large garden or small farm can (and should) think outside the agribusiness box and learn to grow healthy whole grains or beans—the base of our culinary food pyramid—alongside their fruits and vegetables.

Surviving and Thriving on the Land

Surviving and Thriving on the Land How to Use Your Time and Energy to Run a Successful Smallholding by Rebecca Laughton It’s a dream come true when you finally get a piece of land or join an eco-community and start to plan your sustainable land-based enterprise. But all too often the dream is spoiled by lack of money, stress, exhaus-tion, and poor time management, and your work and future plans can dissolve into discord, illness, and poverty. Smallholdings provide food, home, fuel, and employment for those who run them and local, seasonal, often organic and ethical food and timber for an expanding market. Surviving and Thriving on the Land looks at ways in which projects can be designed that care for the people involved in them as well as the earth that they are trying to protect. If land-based ecological projects are to offer a realistic solu-tion to the problems we face in the twenty-first century, it

Healthy soil is teeming with life — not just earthworms and insects, but a staggering multitude of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. When we use chemical fertilizers, we injure the microbial life that sustains healthy plants, and thus become increas-ingly dependent on an arsenal of artificial substances, many of them toxic to humans as well as other forms of life.

Yet even garlic fanciers may be unable to tell hardneck from softneck, or Purple Stripe from Rocambole, not to mention the hundreds of cultivated varieties grown today, many with distinct differences in taste and character. In fact, the wealth of garlic varieties in nearly a dozen horticultural groups rivals that of corn, carrots, apples, and peaches. This book is the most comprehensive and in-depth guide available to what

The Contrary Farmer

The Contrary Farmer By Gene Logsdon Reading about farming has its own vicarious pleasures too, even for someone who actually lives in the country. The more practical the book the better I like it, especially if it gives me a glimpse of how rural life used to look--or how it ought to look. So here are two places to start. The first is Gene Logsdon's “The Contrary Farmer” (Chelsea Green). Logsdon is full of good, practical sense and he is the best--and most plain-spoken--philosopher of rural living I know. The other book is harder to find--or will be until April, when it is reissued by Chelsea Green. It is William Cobbett's “Cottage Economy,” which was published in 1822 and was meant to teach its readers what had been forgotten about rural living in a single genera-tion. —Verlyn Klinkenborg, the New York Times Gene Logsdon has become something of a rabble-rouser

in progressive farm circles, stirring up debates and controversies with his popular New Farm magazine column, “The Contrary Farmer.” One of Logsdon's principle contrarities is the opinion that--popular images of the vanishing American farmer, notwithstanding--greater numbers of people in the U.S. will soon be growing and raising a greater share of their own food than at any time since the last century. Instead of vanishing, more and more farmers will be cottage farming, part-time. This detailed and personal account of how Logsdon's family uses the art and science of agriculture to achieve a reasonably happy and ecologically sane way of life in an example for all who seek a sustainable lifestyle.

Seeds of Deception

Exposing Industry and Government Lies About the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You’re Eating Foreword by Frances Moore Lappé Without knowing it, Americans eat genetically modified (GM) food everyday. While the food and chemical industries claim that GMO food is safe, a considerable amount of evidence shows otherwise. In Seeds of Deception, Jeffrey Smith, a former executive with the leading independent laboratory testing for GM presence in foods, documents these serious health dangers and explains how corporate influence and government collusion have been used to cover them up. The stories Smith presents read like a mystery novel. Scientists are offered bribes or threatened; evidence is stolen; data with-held or distorted. Government scientists who complain are stripped of responsibilities or fired. The FDA even withheld information from congress after a GM food supple-

ment killed nearly a hundred people and permanently disabled thousands. While Smith was employed by the laboratory he was not allowed to speak on the health dangers or the cover-up. No longer bound by this agreement, Smith now reveals what he knows in this groundbreak-ing exposé. Today, food companies sell GM foods that have not undergone safety studies. FDA scientists opposed this, but White House and industry pressure prevailed and the agency’s final policy--co-authored by a former Monsanto attorney--denied the risks. The scientists’ concerns were made public only after a lawsuit forced the agency to turn over internal documents. Dan Glickman, former Secretary of Agriculture, describes the government’s pro-biotech mindset:

Seikouba Brand Sickle Thin Blade Having its origins as a rice sickle, and long one of the weapons of the farmer warriors of feudal Japan, the “Kama” is still very useful today. More commonly called a grass sickle. High quality, hand forged grass sickles. The blade is made of soft iron laminated to high-carbon steel. Handles are made of Japanese white oak. There are three different blade sizes available: thin, medium and thick. The thin blade is light and cuts fast when dealing with grasses. The thick blade is heavy duty and can deal with thicker materials. We use this thin blade and medium blade sickle exclusively for hand harvesting grain. This beats any other sickle we have found hands down. In fact the boys in the field fight over who got to use the one we had till we ordered more! Why do you want to spend this much on a sickle?

Cereal rye is the most winter-hardy of all cereal grains, enduring temperatures as low as -30°F once estab-lished. It can germinate and grow at temperatures as low as 33°F; however, optimal temperatures are much higher. Cereal rye tolerates drought better than other cereal grains, in part because of its extensive root system. It grows best with ample moisture, but excessive moisture during the fall and winter suppresses vegetative growth. Cereal rye does not tolerate flooding. Snow is readily trapped by the cereal rye plant, providing insulation from cold weather and increasing water availability in dry climates. Uses Cereal

Cereal rye is an excellent choice as a late-sown cover crop. In western Oregon it may be planted any time of the year. Because it establishes rapidly in cool weather and grows throughout the winter, cereal rye is excellent for protecting the soil from wind and water erosion, scavenging soil-N before it is leached below the root zone, and suppressing weeds. Cereal rye’s extensive root system makes it among the best cover crops for improving soil structure.

The opening scenes of the film dive into the wonderment of the soil. Made from the same elements as the stars, plants and animals, and us, “dirt is very much alive.” Though, in modern industrial pursuits and clamor for both profit and natural resources, our human connection to and respect for soil has been disrupted. “Drought, climate change, even war are all directly related to the way we are treating dirt.” DIRT! the Movie--narrated by Jaime Lee Curtis--brings to life the environmental, economic, social

It shares the stories of experts from all over the world who study and are able to harness the beauty and power of a respectful and mutually beneficial relationship with soil. DIRT! the Movie is simply a movie about dirt. The real change lies in our notion of what dirt is. The movie teaches us: “When humans arrived 2 million years ago, everything changed for dirt. And from that moment on, the fate of dirt and humans has been intimately linked.” But more than the film and the lessons that it teaches, DIRT the Movie is a call to action. “The only remedy for disconnecting people from the natural world is connecting them to it again.” What we’ve destroyed, we can heal. ***Deluxe Edition includes two hours of

How much outrage can a single multinational corporation inspire? How much damage can they inflict? The breathtak-ing new film, The World According to Monsanto, features a company that sets the new standard. From Iowa to Paraguay, from England to India, Monsanto is uproot-ing our food supply and replacing it with their patented genetically engineered creations. And along the way, farm-ers, communities, and nature become collateral damage. Monsanto’s controversial past combines some of the most toxic products ever sold with misleading reports, pressure tactics, collusion, and attempted corruption. They now race to genetically engineer (and patent) the world’s food sup-ply, which profoundly threatens our health, environment, and economy.

My Father’s Garden

My Father’s Garden We are rapidly losing the natural resources and human wisdom that are necessary to grow food. My Father’s Garden is an engrossing, emotion-ally charged documentary about the use and misuse of technology on the American farm. In less than fifty years the face of agriculture has been utterly transformed by synthetic chemicals, whose power to control the forces of nature is rivaled only by that of the atom bomb. These chemicals have also changed the farmers who have used them. This film tells the story of two such lives, different in all details, yet united by their common goal of producing good food. One of the farmers is the father of the film-maker. His story is told through her memories of growing up in the orange groves of Florida, and seen in the haunted and fading images of old home movies from the family. Herbert Smith was a hero of his age: dedicated, innovative,

a champion of the new miracle sprays of the 1950’s. He used these chemicals to fashion a man-made paradise, and his fate is the heart of this film. The other farmer, Fred Kirschenmann of North Dakota, is a hero for our age. Faced with a shattered farm economy and the devastating environmental effects of chemical farming, Fred steered his land through the transition to organic farming. Thirty years later, the Kirschenmann farm is a thriving testament to ingenuity, hard work, and a reverent understanding of nature. My Father’s Garden follows Fred’s story as it unfolds through the changing seasons. The differences between organic agriculture and conven-tional agribusiness are clearly demonstrated.

The Future of Food offers an in-depth investigation into the dis-turbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery store shelves for the past decade. From the prairies of Saskatch-ewan, Canada to the fields of Oaxaca, Mexico, this film gives a voice to farmers whose lives and livelihoods have been negatively impacted by this new technology. The health implications, government policies and push towards globalization are all part of the reason why many people are alarmed by the introduction of genetically altered crops into our food supply. Shot on location in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, The Future of Food examines the complex web

of market and political forces that are changing what we eat as huge multinational corpora-tions seek to control the world’s food system. The film also explores alternatives to large-scale industrial agriculture, placing organic and sustainable agriculture as real solutions to the farm crisis today. Written and directed by Deborah Koons Garcia, film maker and widow of the Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia “My goal was to make a film that gave the average person a clear understanding of how genetic engineering works, from the cellular level to the global level,” Garcia said in a recent interview. “I’m hoping this film can be a combination of Silent Spring and The Battle of Algiers.

The Power of Community

The Power of Community How Cuba Survived Peak Oil Cuba has already been through economic collapse as a result of the shortage of energy resources. That happened after the Soviet Union collapsed in 1989 and Cuba lost its primary sugar market and the source of almost all its petroleum. The Cubans rose to the occasion, and today are a model of sustainability for the rest of the world. The Power of Com-munity tells the story of Cuba’s transition from an industrial petroleum-based society to a sustainable society, as a re-sult of their loss of petroleum when their source, the Soviet Union, collapsed. Run time: 53 minutes “This is a great film to show at your community meetings or neighborhood get togethers. What would you do if oil disappeared? What will you do? Find out how Cuba did it and why the rest of the world is now looking to them for answers.”SKU Price

Bracteantha bracteata Strawflower Strawflower is an upright, warm-weather annual or short lived perennial with daisy-like flowerheads in yellow, pink, bronze, cream, purple or white. Strawflower has thin, lance shaped, gray-ish green leaves up to 5 in (12.7 cm) long, and sandpapery, hollow, branching stems that may reach 3-4 ft (0.9-1.2 m) in height. From late spring until fall, strawflower bears flowerheads about 2 in (5.1 cm) across singly or in few-flowered clusters on the ends of the branches. What look like ray flowers or petals are actually bracts (modi-fied leaves) surrounding the central corolla. The bracts are papery with a straw-like, crackly texture, hence the common name. The corolla is like the disc of more typical daisies, composed of many tiny florets. There are no ray florets at all.SKU Price

Once the seedlings are about 12” tall or so, perfectly round, brown-colored buds will appear, and soon you’ll have the beautiful sprays of small butter yellow flowers with dark red centers. This species is great for cutting, each stem adding a whole flush of small flowers to any arrangement, but don’t cut them all. Plains coreopsis is perhaps the very best native annual for reseeding. Which means even though the plants may die with frost, others will probably sprout in their places next spring. A great species, the official state wildflower of Florida.SKU Price

Lady Bird Johnson’s Wildflower Center says... “Texas bluebonnet, which starts flowering in mid-March. The peak blooming period is usually in mid-April, although the exact date is impossible to predict due to many environmental factors. Plant the seeds in October & November (early October is best). Lupinus texensis (Texas bluebonnet) are annual plants; that is, they go from seed to flower to seed in one year. They germinate in the fall and grow throughout the winter, and usually bloom around the end of March to the mid-May. Around mid-May, they form a seedpod, which is green at first but turns yellow and then brown. Sometime between the yellow and brown form of the seedpod, the seeds mature. The seedpods pop open, releasing the small,

hard seeds. Seed Scarification As noted, bluebonnet seeds have hard seed coats that often delay germination for a year of more. To increase the germination rate the first year, growers often scarify seeds. Scarification means scratching or nicking the seed coats to simulate natural weathering processes. Once scarified, most seeds will germinate quickly and should be watered for several weeks, especially if the weather is dry. You can use the following methods to scarify seeds: * physically nick the seeds with a knife (for small quantities) * rub the seeds with sandpaper * freeze the seeds overnight, then quickly pour boiling water over the seeds and soak for several hours at room temperature It is not recommended to scarify bluebonnet seeds

Delgold Tobacco

Nicotiana tabacum Delgold Tobacco Tobacco seeds are VERY tiny. Package contains 100 seeds. Bred in Canada around 1980 by crossing wild tobacco (N. rustica) with two popular American tobacco varieties, Hicks Broadleaf tobacco and Virginia 115 tobacco. This cross produced a plant that was a high-yielding, high-nicotine cultivar that was widely adopted by growers. Delgold tobacco is still considered one of the better yielding flue-cured varieties available on the market today. Giant 6-8’ tobacco with leaves over 18” long and 12”. Delgold just kept coming every time I would cut it. Soft pink flowers. I was shocked at this tobaccos frost tolerance, but then again I got the original seed stock from Canada. This tobacco variety works well for us on the West Coast because it will perform in our cool weather. (2010 update.

I grind tobacco leaves up and use it as a dust on the chickens for mites\Lice. I also soak tobacco leaves in water to make a concoction to spray on bugs in the garden. Start tobacco seeds indoors 4-8 weeks before outdoor planting time. Sow thinly in a lightweight sterile soil mix. BARELY cover the tobacco seed or don’t cover it at all. Press the soil firmly and water. Keep evenly moist, but not soggy. I recommend bottom heating the seed tray

Today it is probably the world’s most popular wildflower because of its brilliant and striking colors as well as it’s ability to grow wild year after year.

It is very effective in preventing rust on Iron tools and blades, and is unlikely to interfere with finishes. Helps keep the wood handles nourished and in excellent shape. 3.5 oz bottle

The carbon-steel blade is strong and can deal with heavy-duty digging, especially in clay soils. One side is serrated to make cutting weeds and small branches easier. It comes with a longer handle for more leverage. It comes with a sheath that has a handy belt attachement. We use the heck out of these for digging out narrow gopher holes to set traps. Anyone who has tried to set a trap in a gopher hole knows getting deep enough in means everything and it is hard to do unless you have a narrow blade the width of the hole. We tried so many different shovels for this purpose and none work as well as this one. Not to mention this the strength in this carbon steel version.

Removing harmful moist air from seed containers is essential to long seed storage life and better germination rates. Simply place your dry seeds in the mason jar, add your silica desiccant, put on the lid and place the vaccum seal cover on top. Then simply put the vacuum hose on the seal cover and use the hand held pump to extract the air. Watch the pressure dial and when you reach your desired vacuum stop, pull off the seed seal cover and screw down your normal mason jar ring. Presto! Safe seed sealed in vacuum environment.

Bere Barley

...north of Britain and prior to the 20th century, it was widely grown in this area. Characteristics which suit it to this area include a rapid growth rate and a reputed tolerance to acidic soils. In most areas, however, Bere was progressively replaced by higher yielding modern varieties and by the 1990s only about 10 ha were still in cultivation – mostly in Orkney, Sutherland and Shetland. Survival in Orkney has been linked closely to a local Mill, which still produces Bere flour, which is mainly used locally in a range of food products (bannocks, bread and biscuits). Analyses of Bere flour has shown it to be a source of mag-nesium, zinc and iodine and to contain significant amounts of folate, thiamine and pantothenic acid. It is therefore thought to have potential as a functional food (Theobald et al., 2006) and the Agronomy Institute is investigating new bakery markets for Bere flour. Historical accounts show that

Common Grain Barley

Common Grain Barley 2 ounce seed package or 5 lb. Choose from drop down menu below. Barley is a short-season, early maturing crop grown commercially in both irrigated and in dry land environments. Because this grain adapts well to different types of environments, it is grown in many regions throughout the United States. In fact 27 states in the US grow barley to some extent. Major produc-ing states, in descending order of production, include North Dakota, Idaho, Montana, Washington, Colorado, Wyoming, Virginia, Minnesota, Maryland, South Dakota, Oregon and Utah. Next to wheat the most valuable grain is barley, especially on light and sharp soils. It is a tender grain and easily hurt in any of the stages of its growth, particularly at seed time; a heavy shower of rain will then almost ruin a crop on the best prepared land; and in all the after pro-cesses greater pains and attention are required to ensure

success than in the case of other grains. The harvest process is difficult, and often attended with danger; even the threshing of it is not easily executed with machines, because the awn gener-ally adheres to the grain, and renders separation from the straw a troublesome task. Barley, in fact, is raised at greater expense than wheat, and generally speaking is a more hazardous crop. Except upon rich and genial soils, where climate will allow barley to be perfectly reared, it ought not to be cultivated. Barley is chiefly taken after turnips, sometimes after peas and beans, but rarely by bad farmers either after wheat or oats, unless under special circumstances. When sown after turnips it is generally taken with one furrow, which is given as fast as the turnips

Hordeum vulgare Lacey Barley Seed 2 oz Package which covers about 50’ square feet. “‘Lacey’ a six-rowed spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) (Reg. no. CV-290, PI 613603), was developed by the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station and released in February 2000. It was developed in a program to obtain low soluble protein in a Midwest malting barley. Lacey’s malting quality traits, determined in collaboration with the USDA Cereal Crops Research Unit at Madison, WI, and industry testing in cooperation with the American Malting Barley Association, appear to be similar to Robust, the industry six-rowed quality standard. The following quality comparisons are based on data from 13 separate evaluations made from 1996 to 1999. For the malting quality trait of most interest, soluble protein, the values were 5.6, 5.6, and 6.7%, respectively, for Lacey, Robust, and Stander. Diastatic power is similar to Robust,

Lacey is currently being evaluated for both malting and brewing quality in industry tests coordinated by the American Malting Barley Association. Lacey was 16% higher yielding than Robust and 3% higher than Stander in Minnesota (1996–1999). In Midwestern regional trials (1998–1999), Lacey was 12 and 4% higher yielding than Robust and Stander, respectively. Percentage plump kernels of Lacey is similar to Robust and Stander. In seven Minnesota trials where lodging oc-curred, the respective lodging percentages were 33% for Lacey and 42% for Robust.

Winter growth habit. 2’-3’ in height. 1+ Tillers Luther Burbank is said to have used this barley to select from to create his famous “Burbank Barley”. Little docu-mentation still exists to verify this fact. The most obvious difference is California barley is hulled and Burbank Barley is hulless. Burbank seemed to only dabble in grains for a short period. I find it more likely that instead of “creating” this barley, he found a hulless sport growing amongst California. He improved upon this barley only saving the biggest heads and those plants with the most tillers. We will never really know.

Excellent, rich nutty flavor. 2+ tillers (stools, basal shoots, etc...) which is an improvement of California Hulless. Luther Burbank states in his catalog that this was a selection from California Hulless Barley. What that means is he took this already known barley and selected for characteristics he liked. What those characteristics were we don’t know for sure. I’m still researching and digging through his endless catalogs\papers locally, but a trip to the library of congress may be in order for this and a few other varieties I’m researching.

still do it. However, what made Burbank so controversial was instead of keeping the original seed name and then calling it “new, improved or _____(company’s name) selection” (but leav-ing the original seed name), he renamed it and normally after himself. For instance this barley was and is clearly California hulless, but it is also clearly bigger, taller and more robust than its original state. Another famous example Burbank did this with was Golden Bantam corn. He took Burpee’s 8 rows of grains to an ear variety and bred it up to 12 rows an ear. He then called it Burbank Bantam. He at least left the Bantam name attached, but only occasionally mentions what it originally was. In fact he called it a “new bantam”. This practice brought critics

than normal rain amounts in a relatively small amount of time. Much of the grain was flooded for prolonged periods and many of the organic nutrients were washed away. 80% is dead or severely stunted. I believe this variety may be better adapted to hot and dry conditions given adequate initial rainfall over winter. So, next year I would not plant early, but wait till March 1st. This allows our soils to become saturated with the needed moisture, but gives time for the majority of the showers to have passed (we only get winter rain here). This also allows for the heat\dry conditions this barley seems to respond to (as opposed to most barley that prefers cool moist conditions). All is not lost this year however.

Golden Flax Sustainably Grown\2 oz package Seed flax is an annual plant that grows to a height of 12 to 36 inches. It has a distinct main stem with numerous branches at the top which produce flowers. Branches from the base of the plant may also occur depending on variety, stand, and en-vironment. The plant has a branched taproot system which may extend to a depth of 3 to 4 feet in coarse textured soil. Common flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) was one of the first crops domesticated by man. Flax is thought to have origi-nated in the Mediterranean region of Europe; the Swiss Lake Dweller People of the Stone Age apparently produced flax utilizing the fiber as well as the seed. Linen cloth made from flax was used to wrap the mummies in the early Egyptian tombs. In the United States, the early colonists grew small fields of flax for home use, and commercial production of fiber flax began in 1753. However, with the

invention of the cotton gin in 1793, flax production began to decline. Flax is still produced in the United States for its oil rich seed. Linseed oil has been used as a drying agent for paints, varnishes, lacquer, and printing ink. Linseed oil meal is an excellent protein source for livestock containing about 35% crude protein. Flax straw on the other hand, makes a very poor quality forage because of its high cellulose and lignin content. Green flax straw should not be grazed or fed as it is high in prussic acid. The danger of prussic acid poisoning is greater immediately following a freeze. Source University of Wisconsin

Red Proso Millet Seed

Proso, an ancient Slav name used in Russia and Poland (Candolle 1964), has also been called common millet, hog millet, broom corn, yellow hog,hershey, and mil-let. Although the origin of proso millet has not been ascertained, it is one of the first cultivated cereal grasses, most likely prior to wheat. Proso millet has been known for many thousands of years in Eastern Asia including China, India, and Russia. The cultivation of proso is more generally thought to come from central and eastern Asia and spread to India, Russia, the Middle East, and Europe (Roshevits 1980). Proso is still extensively cultivated in India, China, Russia, in the Middle East including Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey, and also in Afghanistan and Romania (Martin et al. 1976). According to Matz (1986), however, proso is probably a native of Egypt and Arabia and has been cultivated in Asia Minor and southern Europe since

prehistoric times. Candolle (1964) also states that Egypto-Arabian origin of proso millet is very probable. Proso millet requires very little water, possibly the lowest water requirement of any cereal, and converts water most efficiently to dry matter\grain (Theisen et al. 1978; Hulse et al. 1980). According to Arnon (1972), this is not because of its drought-resistance but because of its short growing season. Proso has a very low transpiration ratio, which may be attributed in part to the C4 photosynthetic mechanism (Martin et al. 1976). The low straw grain ratio of proso also contributes to its water use efficiency and adaptation to moisture-limited areas. Proso is very shallow rooted and does not grow well under water stress, nor under excess moisture. Plants

White Proso Millet

White Proso Millet (70-100 days) 2 oz package Proso millet, also called proso, grain millet or hog millet, is grown primarily for feed grain or birdseed purposes. Proso is a warm-season grass and is well-adapted to the warm summer temperatures. It is, however, sensitive to frost and therefore usually is planted in June. Proso has a shallow root system, but because of its short growing season, the water requirements for proso are less than for most other crops. Plant to attract birds such as indigo buntings!

Organic Cayuse Oats

Certified Organic Cayuse Oats Cayuse oats are a cool season, annual cereal grain that is typically grown here in California for a cover crop or livestock feed. Many of the farmers use this oat to bail oat hay from because it shows a 14% higher biomass production than California Red Oats. Organic Cayuse forms a nice crop of oats that is easy to hand harvest because it grows about 6' tall. We use Organic Cayuse oats for chicken feed, but the rest of the plant is perfect for horses, cows or goats. The ideal situa-tion is to throw the entire shock of oats into the barnyard letting the ruminants eat the biomass and the chickens eating the grain that falls to the ground. Farm living done right! Oats grow best in cool, moist climates, yet it is adapted to many climatic extremes. It is an excellent winter cover crop in the South and in areas where winter freezes are not severe like ours here in California.

However, the fine growth that makes it good for hay also renders it susceptible to lodging (seed head falling over), but that is OK because most backyard gardeners use if for green manure or to add bio-mass to their gardens. We grow it between our garden rows in the fall to hold our valuable soil during the intense winter rains.

is rich in the amino acids, lysine and tryptophan, compared to cereal grains; however, it is deficient in methionine and cystine when compared to animal proteins. Therefore, cowpea seed is valued as a nutritional supplement to cereals and an extender of animal proteins. Cowpea can be used at all stages of growth as a vegetable crop. The tender green leaves are an important food source in Africa and are prepared as a pot herb, like spinach. Immature snapped pods are used in the same way as snapbeans, often being mixed with other foods. Green cowpea seeds are boiled as a fresh vegetable, or may be canned or frozen. Dry mature seeds are also suitable for boiling and canning. In many areas of the world, the cowpea is the only available high qual-

Early Purple Sprouting Broccoli

Early Purple Sprouting Broccoli (159 days) Purple sprout-ing broccoli is an old English type broccoli. Early Purple Sprouting Broccoli is not only a colorful addition to salads, but it is very flavorful. We slightly cook them in the micro-wave and toss them in salads. I was stunned at the size of this particular strain when I went to see it in our growers field. It was huge, about 3' tall and FULL of large purple side shoots. This is a fall planted heirloom broccoli that is not ready for harvest till spring. Will not produce side shoots until it over winters, but then look out because you will get a great supply of purple shoots. Remember to keep them harvested. Very frost hardy purple broccoli. We also eat the leaves over the winter when healthy greens are so hard to find. Just thinly slice them and sautee with garlic, olive oil, little salt and add a touch of balsamic when removed from the stove. What an amazing addition

I've heard a few less experienced gardeners complain about the size of this purple broccoli compared to the number of side shoots. I don't find this to be true because we don't grow this broccoli just for its purple heads, but for its leaves as well. It provides a great source of healthy greens to our family and the farm animals when everything else is dead. It also starts heading out well before any traditional heading broccoli could be harvested because it is al-ready established.

Self Blanching Cauliflower Seed

Self Blanching Cauliflower Seed (68 days) Developed by Dr. Homna at MSU. This cauliflower has self-wrapping leaves which shield the snow-white curds from sun, thus the name Self Blanching Cauliflower. This allows you time for other chores in the garden as there is no need to tie leaves around the heads. Remember cauliflower likes cool weather plant seed early spring or fall for best crops. We have extremely tiny quantities of this amazing cauliflower. Grow them carefully and create thousands of seed yourself. This heirloom cauliflower is getting hard to find. It takes two seasons to develop cauliflower seed. Cauliflower grows best at 60 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Too-high temperature can prevent head formation. Self-blanching cauliflower varieties need cool temperatures. Late planting or low fertility can also reduce vigor, and prevent leaves curling over the center of the head.

Stowell’s Evergreen Sweet Corn

Zea mays Stowell’s Evergreen Sweet Corn (95 days) Stowell’s Evergreen Sweet Corn was originally developed by Nathaniel Newman Stowell of Burlington, New Jersey in 1848. Stowell was a farmer and spent some years refining this variety, which he developed by crossing Menomony Soft Corn and Northern Sugar Corn. In the fall of 1855, he sold just two ears of seed corn to a close friend for four dollars, on the agreement that the seed was for personal use only. Stowell’s “friend” then re-sold the same seed for a whopping $20,000 to Thoburn and Company who released the variety commercially in late 1856. This delicious white sweet corn is regarded as the “King of All White Sweet Corn Varieties”, has been popular for over 162 years. Stowell’s Evergreen matures slowly over a long period, extending the usual harvest and produces 9 inch ears with 16 to 20 rows of plump, sweet white kernels. Learn how to grow the ab-

H. Crane, developed the Crane Melon in the early 1900s by crossing several varieties of melons, including a Japanese melon, a white melon, a Persian melon and an ambrosia melon among others. The Crane melon averages 4-7 pounds, is round like a soccer ball, and has a light orange flesh that is highly aromatic. The fruit is exceptionally sweet and juicy. As Jennifer Crane—the sixth generation to own and operate the Crane Ranch and grow the Crane melon-- explains, “The Crane melon’s flavor is due to its terroir. The melon was developed to be grown on the land that’s been in the Crane family for nearly 160 years --in a particular soil, within a specific climate zone, farmed in a certain style.” Featured in the book Melons for the Passionate Grower Chow.

Charentais Melon Seed

Charentais Melon Seed (90 days) about 30 seeds per pkg Mother Earth News says about Charentais... “Among many delicious melons that are too fragile to ship, the French cantaloupes are at the top of my list. Perfectly sized for a half-melon serving, the French Charentais types have thick, firm, orange flesh and a small seed cavity. When ripe, their smooth, blue-green skin turns yellow, and the melons slip easily from their stems. If those signs of readiness are not enough, just the aroma of a ripe Charentais in the patch is a dead giveaway. The flavor is perfumed and tropically exotic, too — distinct from the more typical netted-skinned varieties.” Amy Goldman writes in her book, Melons For the Passionate Grower, that the Charentais is a type of melon (many commercial varieties exist) that originated in the Poitou-Charentes region of western France, circa 1920. “It is a refined cantaloupe,” she says, “free of the blemishes and

However you look at it, California has been very lucky to have so many wonderful Japanese immigrants bring their heirloom seeds to the golden state when they settled here.

The Granite State muskmelon was developed to provide a melon of good quality. It came from a cross between a Michigan Experiment Station selection of Honey Rock crossed with a selection from a muskmelon grown by the Mennonite farmers of southern Manitoba, Canada. The object of the experiment was to combine the quality of Honey Rock with the earliness of the Mennonite variety. Selection and

Blacktail Mountain is a dark green melon loaded with sweet watermelon flavor. This watermelon has sweet, dense scarlet flesh that just melts in your mouth. Amy Goldman in one of her books I believe mentions Blacktail Mountain Watermelon as one of her top 10 favorites. Blacktail mountain makes the perfect icebox watermelon because of its perfect 4 person serving size. Featured in the book Melons for the Passionate Grower The Gardeners at the garden forum gardenweb.com said... “I live at 3,000ft in clearwater county and I have cool 35-40 degree summer nights.

Moon & Stars Watermelon Seed

Moon & Stars Watermelon Seed (95 days) Heirloom Seed Package contains 2 grams or about 19 heirloom water-melon seeds The history of the Moon & Stars watermelon is a short one, considering melons have been cultivated for at least 4,000 years, according to Amy Goldman, whose “Mel-ons for the Passionate Grower,’’ (Artisan, 2002) -- chockfull as it is with the history, growing tips and descriptions of heirloom melons, along with Victor Schrager’s mouth-watering photos -- is a must-have for anyone who wants to cultivate melons. Called ‘Sun, Moon and Stars’ when it was introduced in 1924 by Peter Henderson and Company, the melon had disappeared from the commercial market for decades and was thought extinct when, in 1981, as Goldman notes, Kent Whealy, co-founder of Seed Savers Exchange, was contacted by Merle Van Doren of Macon, Mo., who was growing the melon and gave Wheatly some

of the seeds from the melons he grew. The Southern Exposure Seed Exchange reintroduced the oblong ‘Amish Moon & Stars’ and a yellow-fleshed, not-so-sweet variety in 1987. A heavy watermelon -- ranging from 20 to as much as 50 pounds -- the ‘Moon & Stars’ has a dark green somewhat ridged rind with the aforementioned yellow mottling. Leaves are similarly mottled. Fruit may be round, oblong or pear-shaped. The flesh, which can be red, pink-red or yellow, depending on the variety, is nowhere near as dense and smooth as that of the commonly grown ‘Sugar Baby’ or ‘Crimson Sweet.’ The flesh around the seeds tends to get mealy just when the melon is at its peak, which is the only downside I’ve found -- although those who like their

Tatsoi Mustard

Brassica rapa Tatsoi (43 days) Small and sturdy, tatsoi is identified by its emerald spoon-shaped leaves. Its stalks are sweet, almost creamy and great in stir fries. The texture is similar to mache, but much heartier. Although Tatsoi is in the Mustard family it does not taste that way. In fact eaten when the leaves are small it has no bitter taste at all to me. I’m a picky greens eater and I love tatsoi mixed in salads. I know I’m getting some real nutritional value and it tastes good. Tatsoi leaves are generally eaten raw, but may be added to soups at the end of the cooking period. When tatsoi is mixed with other greens it enhances the flavor and nutritional value. Here in California we do just fine with tatsoi most of the season until it gets hot. If you live in a hot area, make sure to plant it in early spring or late fall. I also like to treat it like lettuce, meaning that I plant a little every few weeks so that I will have a constant supply.

You can easily fill a gumbo pot with the abundant pods from Emerald okra. This okra is an early variety that you CAN actually let grow out past 3” to about 8”. At this size it will still be tender enough for gumbos or soups. I'm not sure how convinced I am that it would be tasty for fried okra at that size, but many say it is. Try it and see for yourself.

TIP: Plant them first in planting trays (redwood box, old cat box, whatever) and then transplant them to the garden when they are about 1\2 the size of a pencil. In this way you can eliminate weed competition that always happens when you plant such a tiny seed. It also makes them very easy to use as a border planting. Many pest do not like onions and may not cross the border. So not only do you save space, but you create natural barriers. Note: When companion planting do not plant onions next to beans or legumes of any type. Texas A&M says... “They are cold resistant and can be grown during winter.

The Texas 1015 onion was developed by the legendary Dr. Leonard Pike of Texas A&M University, it’s name derives from the planting date in Texas (October 15). Texas 1015s were grown in the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas and took some 10 years to produce, this onion was dubbed the “million dollar baby” because of the enormous cost and amount of time it took to develop this exceptionally sweet onion. 1015’s have flattened yellow bulbs with rounded shoulders. Texas 1015 is the sweetest of the sweet onion varieites and I remember my mother always buying them at the local market where I grew up in Texas. The bigger it gets the sweeter it gets. Texas 1015 onions can weigh up to a pound or more! Stores up to two months if cured properly. The Texas 1015 is considered a Short Day onion, but many times it takes longer for bulbs to develop, so it

Oregon Sugar Pod II Pea Seeds

Pea pods are 4-5”, thick and tasty. Vines 24”-34”. Oregon Sugar Pod II Pea bears 10 days earlier than Mammoth Melting Sugar Pea. Resistant to both pea enation virus and powdery mildew. Scott Meyer at Organic Gardening.com says... “Researchers in Alabama, Oregon and Florida grew a bunch of different snowpea varieties side-by-side, harvest-ed the pods, weighed them and came up with some nicely consistent results: In all three locations, ‘Oregon Sugar Pod’ (or its more disease-resistant variation, ‘Oregon Sugar Pod II’) yielded the most pounds of pods. In the state for which it is named, ‘Oregon Sugar Pod’ produced 8.1 pounds of peas per 12 foot row vs. the 5.1 pounds produced by its closest competitor. In the other two trials, OSP or OSP II

outyielded the other varieties by at least 20 percent. The reason for this extraordinary output, explains James Baggett, Ph.D., of Oregon State University, breeder of the productive peas, is that most snowpea plants produce one pod at each “growth node,” but the two ‘Oregon Sugar Pod’ varieties produce two pods per node.” TIP Instead of building a trellis this year for your peas which cost money and uses valuable resources, try planting Cayuse oats instead as a trellis.

Ace 55 Tomato Seeds

Ace 55 (75 days) Ace is a vigorous med-large determinate tomato plant that produces red, thick-walled tomatoes. Fruits are 5-6” in diameter and weigh about 7 oz. This tomato was bred for the market so it resists cracking, bruis-ing and bursting. A perfect farmers market tomato. A nice tomato for those who don’t like the acidic taste of tomatoes like myself. I still get that sweet tomato taste without the acidic flavor. This however makes Ace 55 a poor choice for canning. If you can this tomato you will need to pressure cook it due to the low acid content. 1967 Burrells Seed Grower catalog says about “Ace”... Developed by Campbell soup Co. Large red fruit, semi-globe medium firm with thick wals and very good interior color; uniform ripening. Vine medium large and very productive. Low in acid and may be eaten by many persons who cannot use ordinary sorts. Adapted for Western areas and should not be used in

Amaz-ing abundant production of egg shaped fruit that is red skinned, juicy, resists cracking and holds well on the plant. Excellent slicer. The flavor has been described as “very soft and sweet”. A Dave’s Garden blogger wrote “This was one of Erika’s favorites last year as far as taste was concerned. If I had to describe the taste I would say that it had plenty of acid as well as plenty of sugar. The taste of Bradley seems to be more sensitive than other varieties to the amount of water it receives: more water=less taste. But with our dry hot summers it is a real standout.” 1967 Burrell Seed Grow-ers Catalog says about Bradley... “A pink variety developed by the University of Arkansas combining resistance to Fu-sarium wilt and to radial cracking.

I’ve tried to include more than one source of information for you tomato lovers. Craig LeHoullier experienced tomato enthusiast has this to say. “This is fairly certain, Brandywine is a tomato that found its way into the Seed Savers Exchange collection in 1982. It got there via an elderly (now deceased) Ohio gardener named Ben Quisenberry, who received the variety from a woman named Dorris Sudduth Hill. She stated that they had been in her family for over 80 years. I do not know where the Dorris came from – hence, where the tomato originated.” Huge beefsteak type fruits that seldom have blemishes or cracking. The flavor is very rich and complex, but not sweet as you might expect. More on the

History of Brandywine from Wikipedia “Brandywine was passed on from the Sudduth family to an Ohio tomato enthusiast named Ben Quisenberry. Many seed savers traded seeds with Ben, and Brandywine eventually became widely available. Though a variety named “Brandywine” was offered in the late 1800s by the Stokes and Johnson seed company, that appeared to be a red fruited variety with regular leaf foliage. More likely is that Brandywine is a descendant of two similar (if not identical) varieties offered in the 1880s - Mikado (Henderson seed company) or Turner’s Hybrid (Burpee Seed Company). Though several other tomatoes (Red Brandywine, Yellow Brandywine, and Black Brandywine) carry the name of “Brandywine” in part, any true

most delicious taste. Fruits keep exceptionally long after ripening. The Peron tomato is called sprayless because it will produce a normal crop of quality fruit in most areas without any disease control. No other tomato was ever introduced that received so many voluntary complimentary reports and we have them by the hundreds. No other tomato ever introduced has shown such wide adaptability. These reports have come from practically every state, in areas where they were unable to grow any other strains. It performs wonderfully in the tropics where the fungus diseases get out of hand. From Alaska we have a report it is wonderful in the greenhouse. Its drought resistance is terrific.” California Grown Heirloom Tomato Seeds

About 5 lb. of seed will be needed for the acre. If sown too early the plant is likely to bolt.

Dark Green Italian Parsley

Petroselinum crispum Italian Parsley (72 days) Approx. 600 seeds (2 grams) We got this a few years ago with the name on the package “Prezzemolo Gigante D Italia”. Prezzemolo in Italy means “to turn up everywhere”. If that means it is hardy then we agree! A parsley with a deep, rich and strong flavor that will add to just about any dish. We add parsley to all of our soups and sometimes to our salads. Our Italian friends use the seed to add to their homemade sausage. I can testify it is yummy! Sara’s Super Herbs website says... “As a culinary it goes with everything except sweets. It is a main ingredient in tabouli. It is delicious with garlic, butter, escargots, salad, grilled meat, and poultry. It adds a nice dimension to potatoes mashed with milk and butter. The Belgians like fondue with deep-fried parsley on the side. The Japanese deep-fry it in tempura batter. It is a prime ingredient in salsa verde. The English

We also dry the leaves and the seed for seasoning during the winter. Sara @ Super Herbs says...”Knowing the body absorbs vitamins and minerals more readily from food then pills, I cured myself of being borderline anemic by eating a lot of tabouli with parsley. It is good for goiter, obesity, bed-wetting, fluid retention, indigestion, gas, menstrual disorders, worms, and bad breath. It is beneficial to the function of the thyroid, lungs, stomach, bladder, liver, and kidneys. So don’t treat it as a garnish. Eat it as one of the most nutritious items on your plate!”

Thyme is prescribed by herbalists for intestinal worms, gastrointestinal ailments, bronchial problems, laryngitis, diarrhea, and lack of appetite. It has antiseptic properties, and can be used as a mouthwash, skin cleanser, anti-fungal agent for athlete’s foot and as an anti-parasitic for lice, scabies, and crabs.

Red Clover

Trifolium pratense Red Clover Sustainably Grown Red clover has been grown for many years as a fodder crop. It is excellent for nitrogen fixation, which increases soil fertility and then is later tilled in as a green manure crop. I was taught about the healing properties of red clover in herbal school, but at the time there wasn’t any hard proof of it’s anti-cancer properties. The article below is a good read into just that. www.greenpapaya.org says this about Red Clover.... “Red clover doesn’t get much respect among many herbal experts. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says, “There is not sufficient reason to suspect it of any medicinal value.” And in The New Honest Herbal, Varro Tyler. Ph.D., dismisses claims that red clover helps treat cancer as “simply not factual.” Cancer - On the other hand, research-ers from the National Cancer Institute (NC!) have found

anti-tumor properties in the herb. NCI researchers felt compelled to investigate the plant after their own Jonathan Hartwell, Ph.D., published a monograph in The Journal of Natural products in which he pointed out that 33 different cultures around the world use red clover to treat cancer. That amounts to a whole lot of people agreeing that the herb has anti-cancer action. And sure enough, NCI researchers emerged from their laboratories with confirmation that red clover contains four anti-tumor compounds, including daidzein and genistein. In addition, red clover contains significant amounts of the antioxidant chemical tocopherol, a form of vitamin E that has been shown to help prevent breast tumors in animals, according to James Duke,

Fish meal is made from fish of course and if you remember that native Americans put a fish under each corn plant you will know why it is so good. Don’t know about you, but I don’t have time to run down the ocean or lake for a few fish when I’m planting! Fish meal is something you can work into the soil before you plant or you can use it as a side dressing. I prefer the later because it is a bit pricey. After your seeds have come up and the plants are well on their way I will dig about a tablespoon around each plant. I also do this when I’m transplanting anything. I will work a tablespoon each of fish meal, blood meal and bone meal in the base of the hole before I transplants tomatoes for instance. Water well! Why? Smells tasty to cats, coons and dogs! So water it in really well and sit back to watch the amazing results.

Kelp Meal

Kelp Meal Commonly known as Norwegian Kelp or Rockweed, Kelp Meal is widely recognized as the richest marine plant for agriculture use in soil applications. This unique seaweed grows in abundance along the coast of Canada, where its cold and clean growing environment is continuously replenished by the world’s highest tides. Fresh seaweed is dried using gentle passive solar drying technology which preserves the maximum benefits of the live seaweed. The organic matter and soil conditioning properties in Kelp Meal are important to the fertility and productivity of agricultural soils. Organic matter in the soil, and associated soil microflora, bacteria and fungi, play an important role in soil fertility and plant nutrient uptake. Kelp Meal acts as a soil conditioner by stimulat-ing microbial activity, a process often compromised by modern agricultural practices. The minerals released and

humus colloids formed during the decomposition of Kelp Meal, result in the aggregation of soil particles and the retention of nutrients which might otherwise be leached from the soil. I mix kelp into my watering bucket at about a tablespoon a gallon (and strain). You will see a dramatic difference in seedlings watered this way. Kelp is an excellent source of plant hormones that stimulate plant and root growth. Of course you can work it into the soil around your plants at about a teaspoon per plant. I would never be without kelp myself. We even go to the ocean ourselves and collect it here. I first dry it in the sun and then put it in the chicken coops so the girls can poop on it. It gets broken down over the next three months and then goes to be
