Free Heirloom Seeds?

Yes it is possible. Man people who are into this planet are just awesome. I can honestly say that people who truly love the earth usually also love and try to help other people. The two principles are actually inseparable in my honest opinion. I recently saw a post on the barter section of craigslist. I really like that section of craigslist its extremely interesting and valuable goods and services are waiting to be had. For those of you who are planning your very own organic food garden this spring I met this person and he passed along some great information on a great site for free heirloom seeds! The site is http://www.wintersown.org
Now I don't know about you but thats just cool. All you need to do is first the hard part. Decide which awesome veggies you want to grow and then second send her two self addressed stamped envelopes for your seeds! Its that easy. She's not marketing anything she's not selling anything she's just helping people out with awesome quality heirloom seeds. Oh before I forget have you ever seen a fresh organic tomato? If not its the most vividly red appealling sight you can imagine. YUM! I'm thinking fresh tomato sandwiches with juice running down the side of my mouth. Get your seeds!

Organic Fertilizers for your Organic Food Garden

Most of the time when people set out to grow a garden they automatically conclude that they will need to alter the soil with fertilizers and then once their plants are growing use chemicals to combat common pests. This couldn't be further from the truth. Unless you perform an analysis on your soil its really hard to say just what ratio of fertilizer you would "need" to use. However common things such as yard clippings are great for use as fertilizers and they do double duty as mulch. However by far the best fertilizer for your organic food garden is compost. Compost is free and it will never burn your plants when made correctly and its full of beneficial microbes to really help your plants get what they need. The two best fertilizers anyone can use for an organic food garden are available totally free. The first again is yard or grass clippings which provide 2-5% nitrogen and the second is yard waste compost which has around 1-4% nitrogen value. Just remember think natural and don't forget that most vegetable matter especially if its been composted correctly is the best thing you can do for your organic food garden!
