As a newbie I would like to know if the general theme of this siteNo. While the vast majority of us are attuned to being good stewards
is the promotion of so called "organic farming/gardening/orcharding"?
of the land and environment, most are well aware that strict
'organic' methods, eschewing all technological advancements, in
orchard management, are folly.
While I try to be 'green' whenever possible, I don't hesitate for a
moment to judiciously utilize the chemical herbicides/pesticides that
are available, if I need them - but again, judiciously. I'd say the
same is true for the vast majority of list participants. We'll mulch
and use green manures, or animal manures, for that matter, but if a
fungicide or insecticide spray is called for to control a certain
pest/disease, most of us here will use it.
'Newbies' are welcome here - and as Steve or Lon noted, newcomers
often bring a new perspective, or revive an old topic for
discussion. While opinions are frequently strong, discussions rarely
become rancorous, and I've not noticed NAFEX listers getting their
nose out of joint, 'taking their ball and going home', whenever
someone disagrees with them - as has been the case on some other
lists I participate on.
