OK,,,,,One more time asking this same question. No one really Answered this question the right way that I had asked earlier. But No Problem. *Will to Low 40's at (night) Damage the 'Health' of my Tomato Plants?* No. I'm Not talking about Frost. Low 40's for nighttime Lows will Not create Frost. But, since Tomato Plants are WARM Temperature lovers, I would think 41 degrees would Harm the "Harvest" time of the plants come June and July time. Yes. A Cool 41 degrees last night at my house. Any imput? Vegetable Garden question?

What I just do not understand, that many of my fellow tree hugging, organic, holistic medicine and pure earth loving people are the same liberal minded democratic types who vote for socialism, GOVERNMENT controlled health care - the very politicians pushing NAIS, control of our food, commerical meat, dairy and other farms depleting the earth, who vote to Abort and murder the unborn children who will never get to see the beauty of a tree? Why is this? This is not self-suffienciency! Today I read a back issue of Mother Earth magazine, at the top of the page it read Become More Self Sufficent - 100 ways or something...and one of them was lobby for Government Health Care! Totally contradicts itself! This does not make sense to me, does anybody know why this is the case? Why do outdoorsy, liberal, environmental people vote for BIG GOVERNMENT that take away our rights, kill our food and limit our ability to heal ourselves? Force chemo on a child? Irradiate our food? Deplete our soils with pesticides, etc? Why do Hippie type, organic,environmental,self-sufficient, holistic medicine types vote 4 liberals like NOBAma?

I don't have to buy land because i have a backyard. Farm equipment: wouldn't i just need some garden tools? it's not like i need farm vehicles. Fertilizer: is composting cheap? can't i just my own poo or something like that? Seeds are cheaper than buying the actual vegetable with all the packaging and marketing i have to pay for, right?

i work on a crawfish farm and we use the waste water to use as fertilizer for the rice farm, we then use the rice to feed our crayfish it works both ways and this technique is used on all the fish farms listed as organic in this area, some of our old fields that were ponds are perfect area for farming and some of it used as that without the need to fertilize
our farm is ORGANIC we use no crayfish hormones, lol i would like to see them feed that anyway, we use no chemicals its all natural and on top of that they are not confined to a small area there is more than enough room its almost like the wild but it is setup to remove the predator out of the quation and to put nets down making it easy to catch them
also easier to feed and restock
asleep your link looks nothing like our ponds that was not a natural setup our is
lol yea ok animal lover
well your right animal lover i dont own the farm i just work on it
we call them mud bugs,crawfish,crawdads people up north call them crayfish
no we dont use any kind of chemicals but not sure if the rice farmer does, he sells some of his rice not all to us, but crawfish or a hearty animal its not like fish stocks were they are stuck together, there is however a disease they can get and they call it the crawfish plauge here, i think it is from some type of fungus but im not sure
my point is nothing is healthy for the enviroment not even your organic plant farms
lol we dont cook the rice for them and they do happen to love the stuff, they are vegetarians and meat eaters they are sort of like a crab, eat just about anything. i live in southeast texas near beaumont, i have never heard of them feeding on any crawfish farm nothing but rice it is cheap down here and i could careless if they have a balanced diet, this is not my point
beebs i dont work there during the winter i think nobody does its a seasonal thing
