My thoughts on the importance of doing things which help mother nature do what she does (except only better) were reinforced at the conference. I have come to realize that by creating the best environmental conditions, that I can help my pumpkins grow bigger. The once-green grass at Lambeau Field is now dormant in the dead of winter. As the soil temps rise in the spring, the micro-biology living under the sod will come back to life & get back to doing its work breaking down nutrients into forms which can be taken up by the sod. This will happen at its best when the soil temps are between 70 & 85 degrees. Just like it does in my patch at home. From the looks of the field, the "frozen tundra" could benefit from at greenhouse this time of year.
