Call President Barack Obama (202) 456-1111 or if that line is busy, please call (202) 456-1414 – to ask President Obama to veto HR 933, the short term spending bill due to the inclusion of a dangerous rider by Congress, The Monsanto Protection Act,that is harmful to our environment, family farmers and citizens. Then ask at least 5 of your friends to join you! http://action.fooddemocracynow.org/sign/stop_the_monsanto_protection_act_seize_congress/ This dangerous provision, the Monsanto Protection Act, strips judges of their constitutional mandate to protect consumer and farmer rights and the environment, while opening up the floodgates for the planting of new untested genetically engineered crops, endangering farmers, citizens and the environment.

Healthy, biotic-rich, nutrient-dense soil. Start simple with some coir and organic compost. Put the bale of coir in a wheelbarrow. Add 5 gallons of water and leave it overnight. The coir will expand 5-6 times. Add 80-100 pounds of compost. Now you have a great soil for pots, potatoes, raised beds or rows. The coir will provide great structure and is a ecological, renewable replacement for peat moss. Ready to get serious about your pasture or garden plot? Send Keith a soil sample ($20). Or if you already have one, fax it to Keith at 540-943-9993. He is our soil wizard. He’ll help you adjust for optimum nutrition, weeds and soil biome health. Have a herd?
