Default Re: Gardeners in the Asylum

Miners lettuce is wild here. I grow organically but I add organic chemical fertilizer and I'm not above using snail bait. I use Azitrol as an insecticide, which is plant derivative but it's a refined chemical. The line to organic can be a little fuzzy. I use compost from horse, chicken, yard waste, worms, and kitchen waste. The plants grow easier, faster and bigger with high potency chemical fertilizer. They taste better because you pick them at the right time and eat them fresh.
