GOOD BUGS
As it is extremely important to achieve a 100% Organic Farm, we must seek ways to protect the crops and soil with chemical free means, as the mission of the farm should be to provide a clean environment for the crops and soil with a sustainable lifestyle. In order to maintain this goal, please keep this idea in mind. If they are of interest to anyone, please let me know. Your comments assist in the research and success of the program.
With the absence of chemicals, the Earth will allow the farm to grow to its fullest abundant capacity.
One way of doing so is by utilizing “good bugs” to rid the farm of the “bad bugs,” as has been practiced on the Blue Clay Farm in Augusta, Georgia as quoted in The Augusta Chronicler in July 2008,
“The absence of chemical pesticides makes the garden more comfortable for toads and ladybugs, which in turn consume some of the less friendly bugs, such as aphids and white flies.
"We also have a lot of dragonflies and damselflies," Mr. Gandy said. "To us, they are the cavalry -- the good guys."

An assessment of our soil would provide some excellent information about what bugs we have, and which are missing but needed for our current and planned crops.
At some point, it might instuctive and fun to teach our young gardeners about the impact of good bugs on their lives. For many, it will be an "icky" surprise. -
