Re: *organic* SFG?

Hey Unlisted (interesting handle;>)

I think that I too am enjoying the organic tendency as I start my first
gardens ever.  I just like the fact that I can use garbage instead of
throwing it out.  I am also pretty ignorant and look forward to hearing
from the more experienced and educated gardeners.  I do, however, have one
bit of advice to pass on.  I put my little container of kitchen scraps
through the food processor and was very proud of myself until I spoke to
my mom a week later who told me to NEVER grind eggshells in the processor.
They majorly dull the blades!  Oh well, chalk that one up to
inexperience!!

Good luck,

fia
