I haven't enough egg shells to mix in to be worthwhile, and wonder if they are even as bio-available a source of calcium as they would need to be. Any thoughts on the matter? I feel slightly better that Round-up isn't completely horrible, as right now it's the only thing I've found which is a worthy opponent to our citywide infestation of bindweed. Any thoughts on a less-detrimental to the local environment method of bindweed management is welcome though!

I've known people to have little success with it, and so haven't tried it myself. Maybe I will. I don't like my lawn--have even cut out 1500 square feet for my garden--but I know I'll be moving sooner than later and people want lawns, not gardens. What's a buy to do? Will folks not buy when they see the large garden and all that "work?" Thanks for the post. I look forward to a rant on suburban lawns, especally those mowed while still brown, as was the case here in Lincoln comma Nebraska this weekend during our first really warm spell. NUTS. Corn gluten?

I opened the RSS feed from Sustainable Gardening with one thing on my mind: Fertilizer! (Isn’t that sad? LOL) And here is an in-depth article with a massive amount of great information. I’d also like to see you explore the pros and cons of “vegan gardening” - not using any animal by-products in the soil and such. Right now I have no garden and want to start soon (thinking of renting “patch”) so I have no pre-conceived ideas. Just soaking up information. Thanks again and Happy Earth Day! -Sherry This is a wonderful article! I opened the RSS feed from Sustainable Gardening with one thing on my mind: Fertilizer! (Isn’t that sad?
