Many years ago when grandpa was a little boy, he read a book about a new kind of gardening called organic gardening.

Understand that there are dozens of grandpas back in a line that have done nothing but farm and raise cows.

After reading the book about organic gardening grandpa told great grandpa that he could grow a better garden than was currently being grown.

Great grandpa laughed and called grandpa a dreamer and foolish. He said that this new fangled idea was rubbish and that it was a waste of time.

Well that just made grandpa mad, and so he studied every book there was available on the subject.

After a little pestering grandpa got great grandpa to allow him to make a little garden in the corner of the farm, providing that he would promise that it would not interfere with the rest of the chores around the farm.

Using leftover seed and plants culled from great grandpa's truck garden, grandpa began to make a garden.

Within two months grandpa's little garden began to outproduce great grandpa's truck garden in every vegetable category.

The vegetables sold for more money, and the customers wanted more.

Soon great grandpa was over trying to figure out what was the difference. Being no dummy, he bought all the books that were in print on the subject at the time, and even helped grandpa go to agricultural college even though he was just in the eighth grade at school.

Because the garden was so much better than anything the community had ever seen, everyone in the community assisted great grandpa in getting the permission for the advanced schooling.

Grandpa became very interested in just how plants absorb nutrients and what it takes to make the perfect plant food.

When grandpa was only 13 years old he won a prize in soil science at the University. They could not believe anyone that young knew that much about soil and how it worked.

Everybody who knows grandpa knows that he is really really smart.

After he received his second degree the high school he should have gone to decided he should have a high school diploma.

Now grandpa is retired and gray and he finally told us how to make his secret formulas.

Grandpa can grow plants better than any one we know.

When asked how come the formulas work so well he always laughs and says "Its magic!"

Now you know why we call it Plant-By-Nature.
