While surfing the web recently, I ran across a great source of gardening information, KGI, Kitchen Gardeners International. Their focus is “planting the seeds of a delicious, sustainable, food-secure world.” A variety of topics are covered in articles, blogs and forums. Some I investigated were ‘keeping bugs away with the spray” which is done with natural predators, healthy plants and suggestions for barriers to keep the critters at bay. ‘Why a salad costs more than a Big Mac’ which is mainly a result of government crop subsidies that keep prices down on some ingredients. And how sun exposure to the tops of carrots cause them to turn green instead of reddish brown or orange. Lots of interesting stuff and no obnoxious advertising that I could see although they do have an ‘E-Store” where you can buy garden related products on Amazon.com. You can view almost all of the information without becoming a member, however if you want to comment, it’s free to join. They say it this way … “Like sunshine, membership in KGI is free and we don’t sell, trade, or otherwise share our members’ personal data with any third parties.”

Check out KGI. It’s an excellent gardening information source.
