Organic Gardening Tips

Question: “i live in rural farmland in Kentucky and seem to have a problem with new trees (fruit, oak, and Japanese maples) having their new leaves slowly eaten by some insect that i can’t see.”

Suggestions – It can be difficult to suggestion a solution without being able to see the damage being caused by the insects and since you say you can’t see the insects you can’t even give us a description of the culprits …

so with that might I suggest Howard Garrett’s website for info on organic pest control. Good luck.  http://www.dirtdoctor.com/

Is a plant food (such as miracle grow) considered a chemical when growing the plants?

Plant foods such as Miracle Gro are considered chemical fertilizers and definitely not organic. Compost, fish emulsion, kelp are a few of the numerous things used to feed the plants and soil in an organic garden.
