It's kind of starting to feel like beating a dead horse. But the cycle of having to buy super expensive seed is gmo monsanto stuff. The dna of the plant is serialised. You can run the genome and there is a serial number in there that will kick back to monsanto, Dupont, etc. It won't produce...

I'm in Texas. Central and south. (someone asked) And I do understand no till. I'll say it like this. I've grown up in agriculture. I've seen the ebb and flow as far as changing practices. What worries me is the emergence (and it's now downright in your face) of GMO. I could write a book about...

I knew that Pepper Guru had to have plants that were nothing short of amazing when I threw my hat in the ring. I'm not trying to disprove organic methods, destroy the planet, or anything like that lol. Remember the "King of the hill" episode when Hank wanted to join the cook-off with propane...

Cute rolling eyes. I thought organics don't lead to salts? I can see that you guys are fairly close minded. Really not what I expected here..... Challenge excepted.

What and how are we doing damage? Like I said my soil is A-1. I don't use pesticides or GMO. Over 100 years and no signs of slowing down. Everything in balance. The U.N. must not have seen my operation. No death chemicals lurking in water or anything. Most of that world hunger scare is driven by...

And Proud Marine Dad, are you sure seaweed extract doesn't leave salts? Both methods work. While some will say that chemical fertilizers pollute, I disagree and enjoy the level of control you get. But it's all about the individual. What is your goal?

The beer can thing was straight forward I thought. Saying that tilled soil packs more than compressed soil is pretty obvious right? I mean if it's already packed down it wouldn't readily compress that much right? And yes being a commercial farmer I do lean towards things that work on a large...

To each his own, but where I come from the no till fad is winding down. Those guys spend more time with the insurance agent than they do at the elevator. I don't doubt the power of worms and mulch. But when you run a chisel plow and loosen the soil you guarantee that when you get a good rain you...

This post is what finally made me decide to join this forum. Are you planning to grow on acreage? I can give you some info on no-till practices. No till made it's appearance as a way to conserve fuel and raise profit margins for farmers. Compact soil is not good, and I can not say enough good...

Greetings everyone! I have been coming to this forum for a while now for the great info on peppers that I receive. As you can see I have finally decided to become a member! I look forward to great advice and doing what I can for great chile-heads in return!
