There's soooo much wrong with the commercial food supply. Organic gardening is absolutely essential for health! We need to network and strengthen organic production.

I've in TN and noticed our beds all looks grey and very powdery this fall. I'm wondering what is the best soil enhancer to put in them to over-winter and nurture them. I don't yet have a compost so will need to buy things. However, we do have goats so can use their "fertilizer" which I separate and keep until it's ready for garden use. Any ideas? I'm thinking of clover and rye but anything I can put IN the soil? Hi:) I’m a fairly novice gardener with 4 small (6 ft x 3 ft) veggie gardens and about that same size flower beds.

One good way to combat them other than keeping your plants drier is to hang those sticky fly traps near your lite sources. You can get them at WalMart and they come 4 in a box for about $2. Another good method for trapping them is to put cider vinegar in containers[I use yogurt cups] with a few drops of dish soap. I also every fall dig up small plants of nicotiana[flowering tobaco], pot them up and place them in various places in the grnhse. The undersides of their leaves are sticky and catch many of these pests. You want to get rid of as many of them as you can cause they feed on your plants roots. As a last resort an organic spray called pyola works also. Goodluck! Sounds like you have fungus gnats and yes overly wet conditions are to their liking.

When it is warm enough I put them out in my green house which is only heated by the sun. The last two years I have been getting these little black flys in my indoor green houses. I dont know if it is from the soil or too much moisture build up. Please help if you can I start my seeds indoors in Feb. every year (school vacation week).I have the indoor green houses-they are 4feet tall covered with a plastic cover- I also have light tubes on each shelf.
