Putting Down Roots Ousted L.A. gardeners continue to farm		28 Apr 2008	News
Posted at 3:17 PM on 28 Apr 2008 In June 2006, a land dispute led to the shutdown of the South Central Community Garden in Los Angeles. Weeks of protest and tree-sitting by celebrities and regular folk proved unfruitful, and the 14-acre garden, tended by 350 low-income families in the middle of one of L.A.'s poorest neighborhoods, was bulldozed. Nearly two years later, with legal wrangling over the land's ownership ongoing, the gardeners ...

How Does Your Garden Grow? Ontario plans to ban garden pesticides		23 Apr 2008	News
Posted at 1:14 PM on 23 Apr 2008 Photo: Laura Gibb The province of Ontario plans to ban the sale and use of garden pesticides. The legislation would keep lawn-owners in Canada's most populous province from using more than 70 chemicals present in more than 300 products. Critics cry double standard, though, as Ontario's golf courses, farms, and forests would be exempt from the ban. If approved, Ontario's pesticide regulations will ...

Lady, Bugged On fighting pests with pests	Umbra Fisk	16 May 2007	Ask Umbra
Dear Umbra, I have a pest problem in my backyard -- specifically, some tiny (but apparently hungry) insect is making lace out of my basil leaves. I do not want to use pesticides for many reasons, not the least of which is that I cook with the herbs I grow. I think I have found a "natural" solution, but I wanted to consult you first. My garden-supply store sells praying-mantis egg cases ("The natural pest control s ...

The solution: choose the right plant for the right location; water the plant to get it ...
