Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["rfreez" <rfreez14@netzero.net>]

The irony is that the Northeast US was discounted as an agricultural region, 
and much of its serious farmland bulldozed into housing developments and 
shopping centers.  I heard about the great drought of 2007, and my half acre 
vegetable garden did just fine with minimal watering.  I know another farmer 
who doesn't have any watering capability at all!  At best he hand waters new 
seedlings for a few days and that's it.  He did fine.  It was a bit droughty 
in August, but all that meant was our jalapeno peppers were hot as hell!
