I've been a longtime fan of organics...it's been an interesting road to say the least.
At first, I couldn't give a shit; pesticides and synthetics were responsible for a boom in food production, so I figured organic was overblown, ineffective, hippie nonsense.
Then, I got into the culinary world and became a convert when I saw that, even if organics had no differences in the lab (for nutrition testing), the flavors were another matter entirely. I've done blind taste tests in my kitchens with organic and regular produce, organic and free range meats vs. standard feeds and lots, and in every case organics just tasted better, period. Maybe it was the methods, or maybe organic farmers just cared more and that resulted in better produce and protein, I thought, but either way the results were there.
So, I became a convert of organic more for health and taste reasons than anything else. I've still worried about yields globally if organics became the only thing, but reading up on organic ferts and pest control gave me hope that, given the research and effort synthetics have recieved, the yields could be matched.
It's little surprise that when I came here this part of the forums intrigued me. I ordered the book, and was determined to grow my plants in the healthiest manner possible. The TLO focus on soil health intrigued me, but spoke to my own beliefs that the best results come from harmony with nature instead of trying to bully her through chemicals to give the desired results. I'm very excited to read up on this. I don't have enough time for my first grow to be a TLO one, as the soils will need a few weeks to cook and I don't think I'll have that time to spare for the first go 'round, but I'm using FD's organic instructions for my first grow and I plan to use TLO for my successive grows, and to incorporate it into the garden I'm starting this year.
Very eager to see what TLO can do for me, both with legal and other kinds of plants.
