Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Nigel Kirby" <naturespirit@clearwire.net>]

Thank you Laura and Terry for your suggestions. I also have a lot of self-seeding feverfew so I intend to try your suggestion Laura of companion planting and mulching with the foliage.  And I’m glad to hear about basil being a trap crop as I will now plant mine as far away as I can since I intend to be growing this for sale also! Most, but not all of the pest issues I’ve had have only lasted for one season so I’m hoping this will be a one season deal also. Of course, I’ve not planted in such quantities before either so my plants are not as scattered and mixed up as when I was only growing for myself. I’ve learned so much this year already.
