As with so many other things, just jump in where you can. Success can only be measured by your own enjoyment and edification. A garden can be as small a container or acre upon acre. My experience using AACT has only a been a few years, it was a leap of faith to start, seemed so complex. I understand more now than then and with the help of friends. My passion is fueled by curiosity and the need to know more about the soil. If anyone would like to know more about making compost tea PM me and I will do my best to answer your questions.

The grapes are going strong this year. We have had a very mild spring so far. Usually summer weather starts a month ago.
