  • Miracle products and foo foo dust

    “Increase your profits and production for just pennies per acre.”

    Haven’t we all seen or heard such tempting claims about various products. But is it real? You know the pitch. Maybe it’s a fescue or bermudagrass that yields 20 tons per acre.

    I was sitting on our back patio, admiring the work I’d done, having just planted the first third of my garden with the non-genetically modified seeds I had oh-so carefully selected. I wanted to come as close as I could to having an organic garden.

    Then just as I as I leaned back to relax, I stood up straight, squinting at the tractor spraying the field behind my house. It was coming closer and closer to my garden.
