Genetically Modified Seeds Are On The Lose!

It was bound to happen.  There is no way to control the spread of GM seeds through natural means such as animals and wind.  I don’t know how in the world companies such as Monsanto, Bayer, Pioneer, and Syngenta could have ever thought that this wouldn’t happen.

If we’ve learned anything in our years here on [...]

An Un-Safe Fertilizer Review!

I came across this article and thought it would be valid to mention it here on Safe Fertilizer Reviews blog.  If you have a moment to read it, I would really encourage you to.  This is a very typical story of “how things go” with regards to the safety issues involving fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and [...]

A Farm In Your Mall..Who'da Thunk It?!

Born and raised in Northeast Ohio, I will always hold a special spot in my heart for the Cleveland area.  So when I happened upon this article about plans to farm inside the Galleria Mall, I was extremely intrigued and somewhat proud!  You go, Cleveland!  Way to be innovative!
