SPIN Tip of the Week
Courtesy of SPIN farmer Laurie E. , Vancouver, WA: I have found Sluggo to be effecitve for slug control. But I became concerned when I used it in my dog run. The dogs loved it, too, and it made them sick for several days. Makes me wonder about its appropriateness for food crops.

We can't all go back to the land, and most of us don't want to. But more of us are using backyards, front lawns and neighborhood plots to grow our own food. Some are motivated by principle, others by passion, and still others by pragmatism. The immediate rewards are great-tasting vegetables and lower food bills. Others, like good health, self-reliance, fellowship and community, seem to crop up naturally along the way.
Whatever your reasons, if you are ready to follow the call to good eating from your own garden, follow us.
