Extractions: ISSN: 1063-262X Pioneers of organic practices in the United States have acknowledged their debt to these men and to those others whose written works continue to influence us. J. I. Rodale, believed by many to be the father of organic practices in the U.S., called Sir Albert Howard of England the "father of the movement". Howard's classic study on soil fertility, "An Agricultural Testament" (Oxford, Oxford University Press, 1940) includes a chapter on the "Agriculture of the Nations Which Have Passed Away" as well as observations of agricultural techniques practiced in both the Orient and the Occident. There has always been a wide range of variation in organic gardening practices. From the purist view of followers of Masanobu Fukuoka of Japan, who advocates "no tillage, no fertilizer, no pesticides, no weeding, and no pruning" ("The Natural Way of Farming: the Theory and Practice of Green Philosophy", Tokyo, Japan Publications, 1985) to the perspective of those gardeners who seek to combine conventional and organic procedures, the field of opportunity for choice in organic gardening practice is fertile indeed. We hope that this Agri-Topic will assist you in making the choices appropriate to your situation and philosophy. Whether you are landscaping a small city backyard, planning a community garden, protecting the environment and/or your pocketbook, or just endeavoring to grow tastier fruits and vegetables for home or market, we wish you each, "Good Gardening!"

Extractions: These sheep, raised on Bruce Dunlop's Lopez Island farm, have an idyllic life, grazing free-range on natural pasture. Their meat is a gourmet treat Dunlop sells direct from the farm. These customers buy their produce by subscription from Terry Carkner's farm in Puyallup. They pick up their vegetables weekly right at the farm. HERE, ON THIS farm in the belly of the Puyallup Valley, the soil is deep and rich as fudge, nurturing honey-sweet corn, perfect baby artichokes, lush lettuces the color of limes and emeralds. In the barn, gleaming strawberries perfume the air; peas swell in snapping-fresh pods. Through the drowsy days of summer and into fall, customers swarm like bees in the barn, hovering over tables piled with produce picked that morning. Terry Carkner, who owns and works this farm full time, sells everything she grows within 30 miles, and never leaves her driveway to do it. She has so much business she turns people away. Carkner has been farming here now for 20 years, but it wasn't always this way.

Extractions: Green Screens APRIL 1999 by Gary Kline Special to the Green Pages only organic and thus may be no more nutritious than non-organically grown foods. I am speaking in generalities, of course. Some organically grown foods are undoubtedly highly nutritious. But how is one to know? Farmers do not generally grow with nutritional content uppermost in mind. They get paid by the pound, bushel, or ton produced rather than the vitamins, minerals, and protein quality of their produce or livestock. If you accept that we are what we eat, and you wish to enjoy peak health, then you should be interested to know why I suspect most organic foods are nutritionally sub-par and what needs to be done about it. Simply because food is organic does not mean it automatically contains adequate nutrients. In fact, the nutritional quality of nearly all food grown in this country has steadily declined over the past century as virgin soils have been exploited, degraded and depleted of both organic matter and minerals. This trend correlates with the dramatic rise in degenerative diseases which probably are more a matter of nutrient decline and altered diet than of environmental contaminants. If the necessary nutrients are not already in the soil naturally, or they have been extracted without being restored, they have to be added in the form of fertilizers and other soil-improving materials. In certain parts of this country, particularly east of the Mississippi and here in the maritime northwest, nutrient deficiencies are common, due to high annual rainfalls. Certain nutrients, particularly phosphorous and calcium, are notoriously deficient in soils west of the Cascades. Phosphorous was always lacking in the native rock from which our soils evolved. Calcium and other minerals are leached out of the topsoil and down into the ground water about as fast as they are released by weathering of rock particles.

Extractions: You can sow the seeds directly in the soil, But it is preferable to start them off early in , or planters. If purchasing seedlings for transplant choose those with straight, at least the thickness of a pen,. with 4 to 6 young true leaves and no blossoms. Plants in individual cell packs experience little or no transplant shock and become established quickly. Tomato plants develop roots along the stem and should be set deeply with the first set of leaves near the soil surface. If in peat pots, remove the top of the pot , so that the soil ball will not dry out. A soluble starter fertilizer, high in phosphorus should be applied at planting time. Unstaked Tomatoes should be planted 3 feet apart in rows 5 feet apart.

By Kathy Ward Pop quiz: What does Puget Sound have in common with the Napa Valley and Europe's Burgundy and Rhine regions? Answer: They are all officially recognized viticultural appellations. Bonus points for knowing that Puget Sound has a drier and sunnier growing season than Bordeaux, France. Armed with a graduate degree in geography, Gerard Bentryn was the idealist and activist behind obtaining an American Viticultural Area (AVA) designation for Puget Sound in October 1995. Bainbridge Island Vineyards and Winery, his home and subsistence since 1977, is a 30-minute ferryboat ride from downtown Seattle. He believes elevating Western Washington to the official status of a wine appellation is a way to preserve the agricultural landscape for all who live in it. Climate and geology are among the factors that define an appellation. Gerard says the research and written proposal he presented to the federal government (the Bureau of Alcohol, and Firearms grants AVA status) was like doing a master's thesis. Matching rainfall and temperature ranges and the boundaries of ancient glacier activity to highways and roads, he formed borders the general public could understand.

Extractions: A New Permaculture Enterprise Mentoring Programme Opens Up A World of Opportunities at Quindalup Permaculture Farm and Education Centre Mentoring has long been recognised as a way of fostering talent in the business world. A mentor is someone who can make suggestions and show you alternatives you may not have thought of before. Mentoring gives you the opportunity to tap into a wealth of experience and knowledge that you may not yet have. A mentor often helps you to come up with a solution you may not have seen before or may alert you to possibilities which you had not recognised. To encourage young entrepreneurs, the business world also supports incubator programmes. In the same way that incubators are used to hatch new life, business incubator programmes are intended to breathe life into projects that need support by way of funding, management support or planning. A unique new support programme is being trialed at the Quindalup Permaculture Farm to support permaculture practitioners with an entrepreneurial flair to establish their own enterprises on the farm.

Extractions: Extension Agent's Report I can't tell if it's just because of the mild days or if it's the norm, but when we have daffodils, trees, and ornamentals blooming in late February and early March, it amazes me. This exact time in Wyoming where I grew up is typically below zero temperatures; lots of wind and of course, snow. The first signs of spring come in mid to late April, and are often disrupted with spring snowstorms. While it may not be snowing here, it can easily be raining sideways, which can keep any hardy Pacific Northwest gardener indoors. Clatsop County Master Gardeners are hoping for all garden enthusiasts to spend a rainy Saturday by attending the Master Gardener Spring Garden Seminar - The Cutting Edge, featuring Lucy Hardiman, garden designer, on Saturday, March 15, 2003, at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Be sure to look for more details inside the newsletter, or stop by the Extension Office or local nursery for a registration form. This is the major fundraiser of the Master Gardener Association, and money earned goes to scholarships, educational programs, the Demo Garden at the Fairgrounds, etc. Please come to support them and learn more about gardening in the Northwest! Enjoy your spring daffodils and spring showers!
