Although the words "dirt" and "soil" are often used interchangeably, to a gardener, there's a big difference. "Soil" (cue angelic music) is what gives life to a garden - full of organic matter, minerals and nutrients. But not all soil is created equal, which is why it's a great idea to get to know your soil first, so that you can make additions and amendments if anything is lacking.

If one didn't grow up on a farm, how does one learn to be an farmer? What about the specialized knowledge it takes for organic farming? Farm school. "Green Acres is the place to be; farm living is the life for me." You might remember that jingle to the opening of the popular series; Green Acres from decades ago. But today, that same desire is alive and well and spawning "Organic Farm Schools" all over the country.
