My grandma had a fantastic garden. Her secret was rabbit poop.

It's all about good poop.

Life is poop. You can wallow in it or use it for fertilizer. But yeah, it's all about the poop.

I am in agreement with that one!

When I was a child my mum had a fanastic flower garden. We described it as "organized chaos" and her secret was horse manure from the stable I rode at. It ranged from very composted to not so composted to fresh. We had tulips well into the fall!

I think it's a combination of all the suggestions....they devote more time and effort into their crops because it is of utmost importance to their lives. And I feel they also have passed down some pretty good info over the years as well.

Not to mention they have access to a large amount of poop. I'm with WZ....it's all about the poop.

Think about what good soil their farms have over all these years of sustainable farming practices!

Words to live by.

If you are talking about the gardens, yes. Their crops/fields are farmed just like everyone else--fertilizer comes out of bag. They don't have that much manure. Most Amish make their living driving nails not farming.
