growing organic berries?

by Tricia

I really want to grow my own organic berries, but I dont know where to get seeds or plants for it. any help? thankx! ๐Ÿ™‚
rose… what store? they dont sell organic berrie plants/seeds at walmart, so "the store" dosn't really help.
hey amber ๐Ÿ˜€

it is almost impossible to find certified organic berry plants. I sources some cert organic strawberry plants last year but they cost $10 ea (compared to 250 plants for $65 of conventionally raised plants). These straewberry plants were in california and limited in supply as well.

I make my living growing organically but buying perennial fruit is place where I have had no luck finding certified plants. So i use conventional and figure by the time most produce after 1 or 2 years they are quite organic from the years or organic management they get on my farm.

I would try the following

You will not find such plants at a box store like Lowe's or Wal-mart.

You don't say what kind of berries but most grow from cuttings, runners, etc and NOT from seed. if they do grow from seed it will be 3 to 5 years before they will fruit.

You might try asking the local organic/sustainable farms in your area if they have any extra plants they have dug up to thin out their berry patches. I know we could have dug up thousands of raspberry plants and in the past have had tens of thousands of strawberry plants to sell from having to thin out an out of control patch.

Organic Gardening Question?

by Tricia

I would love to grow my own organic vegetable garden. What kinds of things or products should I use to fertilize and de-bug? Any other tips? Thanks! ๐Ÿ™‚

I use chicken manure and cow manure from our farm. I put it on the ground and till the dirt about 10 times before I plant.
I don't use anything to debug or to control weeds. If I see bugs, I pull them off. Once my plants are big enough, I let the chickens control the bugs. I also weed the garden about three times a week.

Colony Collapse Disorder – Bees

by Tricia

Colony Collapse Disorder is the latest, and what seems to be the most serious die-off of honey bees colonies across the country and even the world.

It is characterized by sudden colony death.

It is also characterized by a slower than normal invasion by common pests such as wax moths and hive beetles
