All great info! Definitely a goal of mine to be able to garden completely organic at some point but we only have a few cows (which aren't ours but someone who leases a few acres) and chickens. I just need to figure out how to compost their manure/droppings for use in the garden. Are chicken droppings even safe for gardens?

The chop and drop stuff, though, I need to get some better equipment for that. I'd especially like to try to hemp that you planted last year. Something that grows that fast and tall is certain to add a lot back into the soil!
