I love you 'critical' view on the self promoting producers of healthy products. It surprised me that they didn't even know their product's origin or trail if you want.

A nice undertaking! I wish such a shop were in my city! Yesterday I read the article about 90% natural boots. May be one day we'll have natural clothes only. But I'm afraid they'll be quite expensive.

Well, as I "and you" have witnessed, their is no interest in clothing the "laborer" in the field, who are bringing in the food to enjoy. One would assume with all the peace, love, and mellow >we're Green< perspectives being thrown or displayed by industry in "Public circles",that at least "someone" would be providing a clothing line with the proper features and have "Value" for the few dollars they should cost. Namaste'

My gratitude to those individuals who make the "physical effort" of educating the masses around us on the importance, and the viability of composting / organic approaches to farming. It is a simple observation; if one takes the time out of their existence, too actually observe, that if you take care of the soil organically, the plant life will know what to do without the interference of humans. Especially important, is the fact Earth's living food web, can adjust to changing temperature naturally; As opposed to "commercial or scientific farming applications", where research with chemicals become a challenge in the face of a climate change VS research done in different conditions, i.e. (in a lab with grow lights, or a "test plot", somewhere on the globe), but these conditions >are never< the same as a Farmers conditions of a daily, monthly, yearly, farming experience. An easy example of this is; if a plant takes up a belly full of nitrogen, and in the middle of turning this into sugar, a cloudy day blocks the sun, that fat little plant become a target of pest bugs, that will eat that plant due to the "excess" of sugar/starch! Unfortunately, it is this old scientific thinking that is the foundation of commercial farming. These "chemical farmers" are immediately set into damage control, due to the "recipe" of >the Big Three< chemical fertilizers, that then require "Huge amounts of Water", in order to process this artificial growth pattern and have a successful crop. But, once all the water table is depleted, and salt intrusion is introduced to the water table, jeopardizing all good water, and since these farmers have "killed" all the natural living organisms in the soil with chemicals, it becomes a dead community of soil, with no chance for the next crops roots to feed. Unfortunately, humans are impatient creatures, and to go back to an organic approach will take a few seasons of applying compost to build the living community in the soil, and that in itself, is a tall order for farmers to stand by and doing nothing in the way of throwing chemicals at there crops. they have been conditioned since the 50's and 60's. Especially, when you have a corporate representative, with the latest show and tell research, with fancy equipment that will spread herbicides, pesticides, and chemical fertilizers, and the promise of incredible yields in his or her fields. To those so tempted, please look the other way. It is simply a "drug addiction of chemicals", with big corporate Dealers, selling their goods on the edge of your fields! Please resist.

My apologies for what may seem lazy but, I should be letting the chickens out, and harvesting the basil that is going to bud instead of sitting at a computer, but this is a job in itself for me to find this clothing; so I have not followed the stream backwards, hope I am not addressing the proper forum here; truly am not familiar with how this works. My question is: Where can I purchase lose fitting, long sleeve type clothing for working in my gardens? I'm not talking "designer/commercial" organic clothing, that some urban dweller considers really cool stuff; but just simple lose, light fitting clothing to protect us from the UV's? NOTE: my wife & I are in the "dirt" always, so we are not going to a local cantina for happy hour. We live in Florida, USA, basically sub-tropical/Hot. And, (my apologies to all; for the decision makers here in the US, it is embarrassing, and it's not our positions! We are truly sorry.) Anyhow, we grow heirloom herbs and vegetables and need this clothing /protection, and were not rich! Any direction you can point us in, would be very helpful. We would like to purchase enough to get us through a week in the fields, with enough to have some being washed by weeks end. Some durability would be helpful. Warm regards and thank you, we are Steve & Ann
