Sharp Tools Help You How many times have you attempted a pruning cut and grumbled when your loppers did not slice quickly through a branch? It could be you were trying to cut a branch larger than the capacity of your loppers. The hang tag on your loppers tells you the maximum branch diameter the tool will cut; be sure to take that seriously or you could end up with a lopper blade jammed in a branch. It’s more likely your loppers need to be sharpened. In our video, “Sharpening Tools,” Tricia shows how quickly you can clean and sharpen tools. .com Organic Gardening Resource Center Extensive library of organic gardening knowledge. www.GrowOrganic.com/organic-gardening VIDEOS GrowOrganic.com/video How to Sharpen Tools How to Take A Soil Sample How to Start A Garden Fire Safe Landscaping Double Digging ARTICLESGrowOrganic.com/blog How To Choose The Right Felco Pruner For You Mulch In Your Vegetable Garden, Beyond The Basics BOOKS Learn More!

Clean tools are also crucial for pruning. Take a bottle of rubbing alcohol and a rag with you, and clean the cutting surfaces of your pruning tools after you have finished with one tree or shrub. It won’t take much time and it can prevent disaster in your orchard or garden. Disaster? That’s what you would call it if you pruned 10 fruit trees and they all succumbed to a disease—a disease carried in the first tree you pruned, and transported to the nine other trees when you did not clean your pruning tools.

Broadforks are excellent for breaking open compacted soils deeper than with a rototiller or a spade. This tool will deeply aerate your soil, increase water percolation, and preserve soil structure. In comparison, a rototiller pulverizes soil into a fine dust that compacts and hardens after the first rains. The 12” tines are 2” longer than the main competitor’s broadforks. It is best to broadcast compost and soil amendments prior to broadforking; as the amendments will trickle down into the cracks. This is especially useful for rock phosphate, since phosphorus moves through the soil very slowly. BUILT TO LAST: 1. The ½” tines are reinforced with ¼” welded steel gussets. These strengthened tines are much more resistant to bending than most broadfork tines. 2. The tines are turned to a point instead of cut at an angle. This reduces resistance. 3. The handles are ash post hole digger handles, 1½” in diameter. Replacement handles are widely available. 4. Stout wooden handles, stiffer tines, and a wider treadbar make for a tool that is durable, reliable, and easier on your body. Broadfork actual weight is 21 lb.

Ideal for deep-aerating your beds, these broadforks easily turn soil in existing beds. Break the hardest sod and pasture, and turn hardpan into a garden bed. Fabricated in the USA from high-strength alloy steel and ships as a single solid welded piece with no mechanical connections to work loose. The broadfork looks similar to a pitchfork, but it’s stronger and heavier, with longer tines. Our tines have a gentle curve to ease ground penetration. To use, you stand on the cross bar, wriggling the handles and using your body weight to work the tines into the ground. Stepping off the broadfork, you can pull on the handles just a bit to loosen and aerate the soil around the tines, or leverage the handles further back for a more complete breaking of the soil. After each “pull”, work backwards and side to side, to turn your bed, without stepping on the loosened soil. Broadfork actual weight is 24 lb.

Hundreds of thousands of customers in over 50 countries depend upon BCS quality every day to accomplish a multitude of demanding tasks -- tilling, mowing, snow removal, chipping, sweeping, etc. Today’s precision-crafted, two-wheel tractor features reversible handlebars that accommodate both front and rear-mount attachments. Its all-geardriven performance provides a dramatic alternative to the belt and chain-driven, single purpose equipment typically sold by the lawn and garden power equipment industry in the U.S. BCS 710 Gardener with 18” Tiller Box Subaru 5.7 HP Engine Speeds: 2 Forward, 2 Reverse, plus 6.8 mph Transport Speed. The only BCS model that comes with the Rear Tiller Attachment. Compact in size with a low center of gravity, the 710 is easy to maneuver and turn at the end of the row. The 710 features the same all gear drive and automotive style clutch as the bigger BCS tillers. It features two working speeds (0.6 and 1.4 mph) for both front and rear-mount attachments. The 710 features both low gear for seedbed preparation and second gear for cultivating; a separate control to turn your implement on and off, independently of the wheels; and anti-vibe handlebars that instantly adjust both vertically and side-to-side.

As an 18” (5 HP model) or 20”or 26” tiller (8 HP model), the 712’s compactness and large 16” diameter tires make it both stable and easy to handle. Featuring a slow tilling speed of 0.6 mph, the tines rotate 20 times per revolution of the wheel. It’s great for the tough jobs -breaking new ground, tilling sod, and power composting. The finely tilled seedbeds that it produces are ready to plant; no raking required. Since it lacks the faster cultivating speed of the larger models, it is especially appropriate for folks who are gardening in beds and not mechanically cultivating between rows. The single mowing speed of 1.4 mph is appropriate for either the 30” or 40” sickle bar mower. This “off-the-lawn” mower will make short work of controlling those portions of your property that do not need to be manicured. The 8 HP model can also handle a chipper shredder. The 712 features a geared reverse speed; a separate control to turn your implement on and off, independently of the wheels; and anti-vibe handlebars that instantly adjust both vertically and side-to-side.

The new PowerSafe clutch feature puts a premium on safety, utilizing the latest technology from BCS! It uses a hydraulic clutch assembly, which immediately stops power to the implement when the safety lever is released without shutting down the engine. The steering brakes, when used with the differential, allows for easier steering around obstacles and at the end of your working path, regardless if you are mowing, plowing, tilling, sweeping or what not.

More info and products: GrowOrganic.com The Professional Series The distinctive characteristic of our Professional Series is differential drive -- the ability of one tractor wheel to turn faster or slower than the other. This provides “turn-on-a-dime” maneuverability and is a virtual must if you want to mow around individual trees and/or get close to things. Differential drive makes all turning easy, whether it’s the tiller at the end of your row or the snow thrower at the end of the driveway. BCS 732 Professional Honda 11hp Engine Speeds: 2 Forward, 2 Reverse, plus 8.3 mph Transport Speed. Differential drive and an 11 HP Honda engine provide this model with both power and “turn-on-a-dime” maneuverability. The model 732 features two working speeds for both front- and rearmount attachments. As a tiller, the 732 features both low gear for seedbed preparation and second gear for cultivating. In first, the tines rotate 20 times per revolution of the wheel. In second, the tines rotate 10 times per revolution of the wheel, which eliminates weeds and creates a dirt mulch, without over-pulverizing the soil. For large-scale gardeners, the 26” tiller will speed the process of seedbed preparation. It can then be narrowed to 20”, in order to cultivate between rows. Similarly, the 30” tiller can be narrowed to 26”. The 732 features a differential lockout to provide positive traction on demand; an easy-to-engage, shuttle-type reverse; a separate control to turn your implement on-and-off, independently of the wheels; and anti-vibe handlebars that instantly adjust both vertically and side-to-side.

BCS 853 Professional Honda 13 hp Engine Speeds: 3 forward, 3 reverse, plus 8.3 mph Transport Speed. Differential drive and a 13 HP Honda engine provide thos model with both power and “turn-ona-dime” maneuverability. As a tiller, it features both low gear for seedbed preparation and second gear for cultivating. In first gear, the tines rotate 20 times per revolution of the wheel. In second gear, the tines rotate 10 times per revolution of the wheel, which eliminates weeds and creates a dirt mulch, without over-pulverizing the soil. The 13 HP Honda engine provides power-to-spare for all our rotary brush mowers, in addition to the sickle bar mowers. Its 2.7 mph third gear is the logical choice for lawn mowing applications. A mowing sulky can be added for those who would prefer to ride. The 853 features a differential lockout to provide positive traction on demand; individual wheel brakes for turning and parking; an easy-toengage, shuttle-type reverse; a separate control to turn your implement on-and-off, independently of the wheels, and anti-vibe handlebars that instantly adjust both vertically and side-to-side.

Accordingly, we do not accept returns of items that were used as we can’t resell them as new and/or return them to vendors simply because they didn’t meet your expectation. • Our return policy for food processing items is different from our standard return policy due to hygiene concerns. Even if an item has not been used, if the box has been opened, we will assess a 15% restocking fee as we must re-sell the item as an ”open box” at a discount. • Within 30 days of purchase or delivery, whichever the latter, you can return any (non-perishable) item for a full refund (excluding shipping), provided (1) you have your receipt (or the corresponding invoice is in your customer record in our computer) and (2) the product is in unused, like-new condition, with its intact original packaging. • Items deemed “defective” (i.e. stopped working and/or broke after a few days) will need to be inspected by one of our Customer Service staff, who in turn may have to contact the manufacturer for resolution. Accordingly, we will likely not be able to come up with a decision on the spot. All defective returns must be complete, clean and soil-free. Sprayers specifically must be rinsed, drained, dry and free of chemical smell. Defective units may then be repaired or replaced at the manufacturer’s option. For products covered under manufacturer’s warranty, please understand that we must strictly follow the manufacturer guidelines, that we may need to contact them for warranty claims and that an immediate decision may not always be possible. 3-Day Return Policy for Perishable Merchandise We guarantee the perishable merchandise we sell (including but not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion transplants...etc.) to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. However, because these items will deteriorate over time, we expect you to inspect them carefully upon receipt and plant them without any delay. Should there be any quality problem, you must notify us within 3 (three) days of your purchase, or delivery, whichever the latter, to request an exchange or a refund. Beyond 3 days from the date of purchase, or delivery, whichever the latter, perishable merchandise is not returnable nor refundable under any circumstances. Limited Replacement Guarantee for Dormant Bare Root Trees If your dormant bare-root fruit tree (including potted fig or almond, kiwi vines, and pomegranate) or nut trees (excluding Pecan), does not leaf out above the graft by May 15th, we suggest you do a scratch test - checking for green under the bark. If it is brown, the tree is dead and you should pull it from the ground, take pictures including the roots, and email them ASAP to [email protected]. Once pictures are received, they will be examined for damage (from rodent, mechanical...) or root rot. If none is evident, we will issue you a store credit for the price you paid for that tree (excluding shipping). This store credit is redeemable toward the purchase of any other bare-root item of your choice the following season. We reserve the right to not issue credit for replacement of already replaced items. Bare Root replacement claims MUST be received BY JUNE 1st for consideration. (Due to their tendency to bloom later, Persimmon trees have a deadline of June 15th.) Concerns received after June 1st will be denied for credit. Potted Fruit Trees Olive, Citrus, and Avocado, are shipped leafed out, not dormant, and are not covered by the Dormant Tree Limited Replacement Guarantee.

If we determine your plant(s) as being un-viable, we will issue a store credit for the price you paid for the plant(s) - (excluding shipping). Obviously, if only partial failure is determined, only partial credit will be issued. This credit is redeemable toward the purchase of any other bare-root item of your choice the following season.

Shipping Information Simply put, we are always looking for the cheapest method of shipping available for your order. Most items ship via standard FedEx or USPS by weight and zone method. Our call center or website can calculate your shipping. To get a rate quote for items listed with a ship method “Truck” or “Drop Ship,” give us a call and we will find you the cheapest freight. Drop Ships Items shipping directly from the vendor are noted as such. Drop ship orders will often be delivered within two weeks of ordering, but in some cases these orders can take longer due to product availability and weather delays.

USPS does not guarantee transit time and Parcel Post can take up to several weeks to AK, HI, and PR. Boat and Barge shipments for palletized orders are available. Call for a quote. Perishable items and beneficial insects cannot ship to these locations.

The clean cuts made by the grafting tool allow you to get a perfect fit, every time. The 2 in 1 tool contains both a pruner and grafting guillotine. This allows you to first prepare the plants to be grafted, by trimming away excess leaves and twigs. Then using the special grafting guillotine you can make a perfect omega cut into the grafting stock. The tool allows you to quickly create omega style grafts. The grafting blade is able to cut through stock up to 1.4 cm in diameter. Because the same blade is used on the root stock and scion, they will easily slot together and form a tight bond. The clean cut and snug fit increases the likelihood of the graft ‘taking’. For professionals this means less money lost to waste on grafts that don’t take. For the amateur it means the confidence to experiment with grafting, without the worry of mastering complex grafting techniques. Replaceable grafting blade.

Remember to run water through your sprayer after use to clean the fine mist nozzles and prevent clogging. Winter When fruit trees are dormant, it is common practice to spray trees with an organic dormant oil to smother pests and a fungicide to prevent disease next year. Spring When seedlings sprout, a fine mist spray is the perfect way to water them delicately and apply organic Liquid Kelp & Liquid Fish. Summer Regular applications of compost tea, Liquid Kelp, or Liquid Fish can help meet the plant’s immediate nutritional needs and increase vigor. Remember, it is best to apply foliar feedings in the early evening so that the plant leaves do not get scorched by the hot summer sun. Fall In case of insect infestation, defend your crop with an organic insecticide. Generally these products are applied using a sprayer and most products kill the pest on contact, so coat the leaves well if called for (after reading the product’s label carefully). .com Organic Gardening Resource Center Extensive library of organic gardening knowledge. www.GrowOrganic.com/organic-gardening VIDEOS GrowOrganic.com/video Fruit Tree Spraying Integrated Pest Management Seedling Care Soil Blocks Foliar Feeding and Fertigation ARTICLESGrowOrganic.com/blog Spraying Fruit Trees—More Details On Dormant Sprays BOOKS Learn More!

We’ve got a whole slew of techniques to get rid of the weeds in your garden. Any and all of these alternatives to harmful chemicals are worth a try. Remember that integrated pest management for any pest, including weeds, often requires more than one method for adequate control. Take a look at the variety of ways Tricia prevents and tackles weeds in our video on organic weed control. Pre-Emergent is an herbicide that inhibits seeds from germinating, like our Corn Gluten Meal. Soil Solarization is done with clear plastic; that lets the sun’s rays in and cooks the weed seeds. Transparent polyethylene plastic placed on moist soil during the hot summer months for approx. 6 weeks increases soil temperatures to levels lethal to many soilborne plant pathogens, weed seeds, and seedlings (including parasitic seed plants), nematodes, and some soil residing mites.

BP1015 32 pages, softcover $3.99 44 weed control Corn Gluten Weed Blocker Suppresses germinating weed seeds. A pre-emergent weed suppressant that inhibits root formation of germinating seeds in established lawns, vegetable gardens and flower beds while also acting as a slow release fertilizer due to its 9% Nitrogen content. Safe to use around new plants with existing root systems, and unlike chemical herbicides, is also harmless to people, pets and groundwater. Must be applied before weeds germinate. Apply 20-40 lbs/1000 sq ft, or 900-1800 lbs/acre, of lawn or garden in early spring and again in late summer. If possible, work into the top inch of soil. Water deeply after application and allow soil to dry (this is important) before watering again. For perennial beds apply 2-3 lbs per 100 sq ft and thoroughly mix into soil. Can also be blended with mulch to further suppress weeds. After applying corn gluten, allow 1-4 months before direct seeding. NOTE: While we are continuing to look for a source of organic corn gluten, we have been unable to locate any so far. Consequently, the corn gluten we now carry is from “conventional” sources and there is unfortunately no guarantee that it is free from any GMO corn.

All our mulches are biodegradable and will eventually break down and nourish your soil. One of our favorite mulches to spread on garden beds is Miracle Mulch, made from sustainable and renewable coconut shells. It will block light from reaching weed seeds. If you’d like a heavier mulch, try our Cocoa Mulch (pro: adds the aroma of chocolate to your garden, con: should not be used if you have dogs). For a quick and easy weed blocker around the base of new trees, lay down a Coco Fiber Weed Mat. Mulching films and cloth are also effective light blockers that suppress weeds. Red mulching film has proven to increase tomato and strawberry production while suppressing weeds. Biodegradable black weed fabric is great on annual veggie beds, and an alternative to plastic based fabrics. Black Polyethylene Mulching Film 1.0 mil, embossed poly film is stronger than plain poly. Lay directly over the ground to control weeds. Often used in combination with row covers to extend the growing season up to 3 weeks.

Both harvest yields and coloring of fruit increased with silver mulch. Silver mulches reflect sunlight up into the undersides of the canopy thereby increasing photosynthesis, leading to rapid growth. Mulches in general also hold temperatures at consistent levels. In another study by the same group, aphid and whitefly numbers were lower in plants grown on reflective mulches. Apparently, insects are confused by the amount of sunlight being reflected up by silver mulch, so they are less likely to land on these plants. Silver mulch is also effective in weed control and prevents snails from crawling across the shiny surface. This hybrid metallized (on one side), polyethlene film is 20% stronger than other typical low density films.

It’s the ideal choice for safe weed control and water conservation. UVtreated. Striped every 12" to aid in planting spacing. 3.2 oz/yard, this highgrade fabric blocks 99.7% of light, and resists tearing, puncturing and weed penetration. It is approved for most government weed control applications. It typically lasts 8–12 years, according to the manufacturer who guarantees the product for 5 years against UV breakdown. The 6' x 6' size is perfect solution for controlling weeds around the bases of trees. During the manufacturing process a lubricant is applied that does not allow water to immediately permeate the fabric. It is necessary to either expose the fabric to the sun for a couple days or brush it with soap and water.

These herbicides are non-selective and non-systemic, meaning any plant sprayed will be affected, and they kill the above surface foliage of plants. Non-Selective Synthetic herbicides can “select” which types of plants the chemicals will effect. Organic herbicides cannot do this and so are “non-selective.” Non-Systemic Synthetic herbicides go into the system of plants, organic herbicides do not, and so are “non-systemic.” If you’d like a spray alternative that will burn leaves of weeds, try one of our organic herbicides, such as Avenger or WeedZap. These are “non-selective” herbicides which means they will harm any plant they contact, so make sure you spray only the weeds. And wear your protective gear. The herbicides are effective on grassy and broadleafed weed plants, up to 6 inches tall. Spray enough to coat the weed well. Weed Zap™ All natural, broad spectrum, nonselective, contact herbicide that when foliarly applied “zaps” small broad leaf and grassy weeds. Best results when applied to actively growing emerged green vegetation six inches in height or less. Controls both annual and perennial plants, but does not translocate, and only affects plants actually coated with the spray solution. Contains 90% clove and cinnamon oils. Mix 4 oz per gal water, or 3 gal/100 gal water per acre.

Use along fences, foundations, sidewalks, walls, driveways, patios, mulch beds, gravel beds, lawn and garden preparation, around trees, shrubs and flowers. Controls most annual and perennial weeds, both grasses and broadleaf. Complete coverage is required. Best results are achieved with a 1:6 ratio, (14% dilution rate). For small scale users, use 18-20 ounces per gallon. The active ingredient is 70% d-limonene, a citrus oil extract that strips away the waxy cuticle from leaves, causing fast wilting (necrosis), dehydration and death. Other ingredients include castor oil and emulsifiers. For best results, treat weeds 6 inches or smaller. Larger plants, grasses and perennials may need repeat applications. Fast acting, with visible results in 2 hours or less, especially in warm weather. Highly biodegradable, dissipates quickly. Takes longer but works in cool/cloudy conditions (as low as 40º F). Sprayed areas can be planted within hours. 24 oz. size is a ready to use formula with 17.5% d-limonene. Operator ID # is required for all CA commercial growers AND all Nevada County, CA residents for 1 gallon and 5 gallon concentrates.

Organic growers are excited about flaming because in many cases it works as well as herbicides, is amazingly cost and labor effective, can be done when fields are too wet to cultivate and does not bring dormant weed seeds to the surface. Flaming correctly, it uses the searing heat of a specially designed propane burner to quickly “boil” the water in the cells of the plant. This causes the cell walls to burst. This is usually accomplished in under 2 seconds, without injury to your crop. Weeds are flamed 1–2 days before crop emergence. Flaming is highly effective on young, annual weeds. Perennial weeds with taproots or woody stems may require reflaming. Use extreme caution to prevent injury or fire hazard. Not for use during hot, dry, summer months due to increased fire danger. Red Dragon Hand-Held Flamers A great way to eliminate harmful herbicides where children or pets could be exposed or to quickly de-ice or remove snow from pavement. Easily assembled. Use for weeding row crops, perennials, trees and vines, as well as brick paths, sidewalks or driveways. Comes with a 10' hose and all valves and fittings required for hook-up to large or small standard propane tank (not for use with disposable tank) of up to 10 gal (40 lbs). At the top of the shaft there is an adjustable fuelregulating valve, which you turn with one hand while holding the torch with the other. A much better way to deal with fuel regulation, which we strongly recommend, is to use the Flamer Squeeze-Valve & Pilot (PWC515, sold separately). To save your back, consider the Red Dragon Flamer Dolly (PWC503, sold separately) to carry the load of the tank. Backpack Flamer Kit Set-up includes a 400,000 BTU torch, 3-gallon fuel cylinder, hose and fittings, and backpack frame. Lightweight, aluminum frame includes padded shoulder straps and a (nonpadded) waistband. Mesh strips stretched across the frame keep the tank from resting directly against your back (a real plus in the heat). Definitely a worthwhile investment if you need to spend much time flaming. Note: the Backpack Flamer comes with the same type of fuel regulating valve as the Hand-Held Flamer. Addition of the Squeeze Valve and Pilot (pictured but not included) is highly recommended.

Add this to your Hand-held or Backpack Flamer to regulate fuel release and to help keep your tank from freezing.
