OK! OK! I saw your article! I even saved it 'cause it reminds me
of a similar study I once saw done on the Reader's Digest
(Death & Sickness were at the top).  I'm so @#$%^&*() busy it
is ALL I (we) can manage to get a garden in and attempt to
enjoy it.  About all that happens after it gets planted is
defensive measures against the MYRIAD of plagues and marauders
which manifest themselves during the summer.  Back in the good
old days, before I went to WORK for the CAPITALIST MEGAMACHINE,
I used to experiment with all kinds of Neat Stuff.  It's been
so long I can't even remember them days too good.  I do remember
plowing up a couple of driveways to plant a garden, and having
my black bamboo die when I tried to dig it up and take it
with me after the realtors threw me out of my rental. (Whimper,
snivel.)

Yeah - I've degenerated to combatting slugs, potato beetles,
and the city mowing crew - Dig it.
