And now for something different........

That seems odd and unlikely.

Congress seems to be mid-movement toward "green" anything (and organic farming/gardening is quite green) ... Any links and/or bill reference numbers you could provide would be helpful.

You shouldn't believe all the crazy emails you might receive.

Here is a clear and interesting article on the topic, telling fact from myth. You don't need to worry about your garden, as long as your concern is food.

FACT: take as much action as you can and resurch.

MYTH: A bill right now is being rushed in US congress to ban organic farming and even down to the individual gardener.

FACT: There's been a lot of scaremongering on the blogs about this bill (hr 875) but I have yet to see any serious or thoughtful attention paid to it. It's in committee right now.

FACT: You shouldn't believe all the crazy emails you might receive.

MYTH: You don't need to worry about your garden, as long as your concern is food.

FACT: We as citizens need to take more responsibility in our local, state and federal communities.

If and when we need government intervention it should be very specific and not open to interpretation.

A fellow once told me about how to catch wild pigs in Indonesia:
Go out into the woods and drop a bunch of feed. Pigs come, eat, and leave. Continue to do this for a while until the Pigs are comfortable getting food there. Build a line of fence next to where you drop the feed. Pigs will come, be wary of the fence, eat and leave. Once the Pigs are comfortable with one fence add a second side (creating an L shape but still open for Pigs to leave). Pigs will come, eat, get comfortable with two sides of fence and leave. Wait a while then build third side of fence. Continue to feed pigs until they are comfortable being closed in on 3 sides. Build fourth side of fence with a gate which remains open. Pigs will enter, eat, leave and get comfortable. After a few days close the gate and the pigs are yours!
