  1. Where do you get bio-dynamically grown hay?

    1. Hi, Kelly - I get it at work, at The Natural Gardener. Right now, it's about twenty bucks a bale, but it's a full-size bale, so covers a good bit. Great stuff! And no weeds!

    2. 2016 Update: We quit carrying the biodynamically grown hay, dangit. But we still have pine straw (pine tree needles) and it works quite well, too.

  2. Do you present seed to seed class at venues other than the Natural Gardener?

    I have old seed for tawakchi corn also known as Hopi Sweet White corn. I got 30 years ago from Native Seed. It is no longer available from them. Do to illness, I stopped planting but I kept some cobs in a glass jar. I intend to try from the old seed, and will use the techniques you outlined in your class. Borrowed SEED TO SEED from library. If I succeed, would you be interested in some seeds. This is a small plant, 5’, and can be grown in pots. Katy.laura@gmail.com also have similar size Hopi Blue, but only 2 cobs.
