Evan though the juice was extracted I'm still thinking about all the pesticides that those sugar canes must have absorbed from the earth through their roots at that commercial farm. Does anyone know if it's practical to grow sugar cane at home?

[growingyourgreens]

The sugar cane was NOT grown on this farm. Sugar cane will send out runners, and can be invasive. If you have acreage and live in a tropical environment, yes, its practical. I hope to do that some day. From what I know, its fairly pest resistant. I see it growing "wild" in Hawaii.

Thank you John so much! Mostly because you have inspired me to grow as much as I possibly can and not just a "hobby garden" : ) My 14x12 greenhouse arives today! I've been waiting for it so I can finish my deer fence for my garden (they are right next to each other) and then put my raised beds in. Our last frost date is the end of May so that helps with the pressure. I have some things started here in a mini greenhouse. Can't wait to be set up!

i have noticed a difference between food grown organically without any fertilizer and food grown with fertilizer. organic produce grown in ground soil without any added fertilizer seems smaller and more natural in size not made unnaturally big

What state is this in?

[IntarwebUser]

You should let me have some of that sugar cane juice. It looks good.

where can i get the coolers to grow strawberries

[MrSybertek]

Jon, I never hear or see you use any insecticides so how do you stop bug attacks or infestations? I just can't believe you don't use something.
