    I confess, I didn’t factor in Salmonella, though there’s something I’ve also thought about, what if cow, or human dung(well, the gases generated) were used as an alternative fuel for cars?

About Author

I've been an avid gardener most of my life and I've always had an interest in organic gardening. My parents always had gardens when I was a child and while I can't say that no chemicals were used, most products and methods used to maintain the garden were natural. Now that I have a garden of my own (past 7 years) I've gone strictly organic. This blog is my attempt to share Organic Gardening Tips with you.
