I checked it out too and i found it full of good info..I am especially interested in the use of stinging nettles,the path into the woods behind my house is bordered with them on both sides.soon as they get big enough this year,I'll be making the "purin d'ortie".I am big on not using any chemicals at all in the garden and this website really promotes organic..Thanks Johno for the link..
