SCOD organic gardens:
SPRING WEEDS, FERTILIZER & MULCH

WEEDS
After tilling & as often as possible “WEED”:
Removing weeds & placing in a basket for the compost pile / bin
Some plants that are commonly considered WEEDS, may be adopted & tended. Dogs & Cats can help ward off groundhogs, rabbits & deer. Dandelions may be consumed in salads, steamed, or wined. Wild Spinach & Lambs Quarters may be used in soups, or steamed.
FERTILIZER
Composted or biodegradable garbage that will easily blend with the soil and enrich it.
Egg or nut shells, fruit, ashes, and peels. Beware of organic matter that may cause unwanted mold or contamination. Large amounts of any fertilizer especially Manure or Meat products is to be avoided. Manure & Meat must decompose several years before it can be used in agriculture.
MULCH
Wood chips, hay-straw, leaves (from last Fall)
Use Mulch to prevent weeds from growing before & after planting. To be safe, plant outside after the Last Frost (May).

I have been reading up on House Resolution 875, which our government is trying to pass. this will make anyone who wants to grow a garden for themselves, or for the purpose of sharing with their neighbors, or wanting to make a little extra cash, illegal. You will have to you register your garden with the government, follow all the regulations that they will give, or you will have your land seized, fined and jailed. The idea of an organic garden will be pretty much out, as the government wants to regulate how much chemicals should be added to our garden. All this will be done under the guize of safety for the public.
