Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["TradingPostPaul" <tradingpost@riseup.net>]

You mention Getting the Most from Your Garden from Rodale. I'm actually
growing by that book.  It's not only working but working spectacularly.
We're selling about 200 ripe tomatoes a week at two markets. A lady asked
how many acres we have. Well, those tomatoes all come from two 4x12 ft
beds.  The 80x100 fenced garden is other veggies. Acres? Ha.
