 REPPED: There's a new countertop herb garden device on the market called "AeroGarden," and it's being sold by catalog companies, online retailers and even some home product stores. Marketing text written about the AeroGarden device claims the unit, "...uses aeroponics, a form of gardening tested by NASA and used to grow crops in space where plant roots are exposed to a fine mist of nutrients." (Source: Hammacher Schlemmer catalog, Spring preview 2007, page 50).
Editor's note: The AeroGrow company has responded to the initial publication of this article in a concerned, constructive manner. |

 It's a company that sells supplies for, of course, people who garden. Since I do a fair amount of gardening myself, I order from them from time to time, and all my orders have been perfect until recently, when I ordered a self-watering plant container. It turned out that the soil-holding insert in the container had a substantial defect.
Naturally, I intended to call them up and ask them to send me a new insert. But you know the feeling you get when you're about to call up a company that sent you something that doesn't quite work right. |

 Mike: Just to remind everyone, we're talking with Jordan Rubin, chairman of garden Of Life, and you can find garden Of Life products in virtually every health food store in the U.S. and many other countries around the world. I want to say that your personal determination and personal passion really touched me. It's so inspiring to talk to someone like you who understands that this is not just about a product, and someone who really embodies that and lives it day to day. I'm truly touched by that. |

| They have anything you need for your garden, from fertilizers and growing fences to sprouting containers for growing seedlings early in the season, and, of course, self-watering containers. So, if you want to do business with a company that has outstanding customer service, check out this company at gardeners.com, and remember that I am not paid anything by this company to write this review. The only thing I received free was the shipping charge I just described. |

| REPPED: Mike: I'm here today with Jordan Rubin, the chairman of garden Of Life. Jordan, your books and products have been taking the nutritional world by storm. To what do you owe this success, and what is coming up in terms of products or information that people might be interested in learning about?
Rubin: You know, Mike, I think there are really a few reasons behind our success. Number one is that this company was founded based on a personal mission -- really a responsibility that I feel I have to share this message of health and hope with the world. |

 Eco-Friendly garden and Pest Control
Plenty of natural alternatives are now available for garden and pest control in your yard. These will be free of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides but equally as effective as those that do contain these toxins. They often use ingredients such as diatomaceous earth (made from calcareous fossils) herbs, and oils, such as orange oil or mint oil, that are natural insect repellents. Natural pest control services are also available if you have a large garden to control and you don't want to do this yourself. |

 You might imagine the innate immune response's means of dealing with an antigen kind of like the way you deal with a garden pest you've just noticed on your rosebush. You might spray the bush with a generic garden spray you've had sitting around on a garage shelf and hope for the best; it may not be a product that's specifically meant to conquer the exact insect that's destroying your bush, but it will probably help nonetheless because it defends pretty well against garden pests in general. |

 Garden Produce
When garden produce is grown commercially to be large-sized through the use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides, mineral-depleted soil, and poor quality water, it is lacking in gv and wl. Likewise, if it is harvested in its second half life cycle, it is deficient in gv and wl. The same can be said for average garden produce that reaches large sizes after months of growth.
There is a net dual benefit from growing produce with structured water where it can reach large sizes and still be in its first half life cycle, without producing seed. |

The other kind of immune response is the adaptive immune response, which takes place long past the moment when a foreign invader first infiltrates the body. |

 This morning I visited the Burma Doctor he had a good house with a number of good looking women about it and a large garden. He had a number of plants both in his garden and in large baskets in his house among others... one of them a fine amonium was in flower, but although he dug up a large bulbous root of it I could not persuade him to let me take a scapus [a plant of the lily family] in flower in order to be able to examine it. |

 Garden Carrot Complexion Soap ($8 for a 4 ounce bar) is standard-issue bar soap that also contains irritating cinnamon powder, and is not recommended for any skin type.
© garden Tomato Complexion Soap ($8 for a 4 ounce bar) has tomato powder but that's of little consequence in a drying bar soap, and lycopene (the red pigment in tomatoes) has no ability to balance skin's pH as claimed.
© Orange Essence Facial Cleanser ($8 for 4.34 ounces) has more than orange essence; it irritates skin with orange and rosemary oils and is not recommended. |

 Over many generations, Tikopians turned rheir world into a giant garden with an overstory of coconut and breadfruit trees and an understory of yams and giant swamp taro. Around the end of the sixteenth century, the island's chiefs banished pigs from their world because they damaged the all-important gardens.
In addition to their islandwide system of multistory orchards and fields, social adaptations sustained the Tikopian economy. Most important, the islanders' religious ideology preached zero population growth. |

 If they're buying food or beverages under the same roof as a store that sells garden pesticides, toxic air fresheners, chemical-soaked dryer sheets or other products containing dangerous chemicals, then they're buying chemically contaminated food!
It's yet another reason to buy from local farmers' markets or co-op stores. Support Community-Supported Agriculture organizations (CSAs) and grow what you can yourself, in your own back yard, where the food goes from your garden to your plate, without being subjected to toxic chemicals in the air. |

| Amid the toy recalls came another report that said some garden hoses may contain dangerous levels of lead. In one particular test, some Phoenix reporters purchased ten garden hoses at familiar home improvement and hardware stores. After filling sections of the hoses with clean water, sealing the ends, and putting them outside for about a day, they then brought that water to a lab. What they discovered was astonishing: five of the ten hoses came back with levels of lead higher than what the EPA allows for drinking water, which is 15 parts per billion. |

 In 794, Emperor Kammu moved the capital and built a new palace, taking the opportunity to build an enclosed tea garden at the palace. He then decided to create a new government post for an official to tend the tea plants: Supervisor of the Tea Gardens. The fact that this new post was within the medical bureau of the government reveals Japan's respect for the curative potential of tea.
For the next few centuries, Japan was dependent on China both for imported supplies of tea and for the culture surrounding the preparation and enjoyment of tea. |

 Surrounded by richly forested areas, it housed the world's first large organic garden to grow botanical grade pharmaceuticals, foods and honey for Germany's elite soldiers and their families.
I've been asked not to tell you the name of the physician who ran the botanical gardens of Dachau. In one of those bizarre coincidences that kept happening to me as I was researching this book, I found myself drinking tea with my friend Sophia in Jackson, Wyoming, a few years ago. |

 So one last rule:
OCOOK AND, IF YOU CAN, PLANT A garden. To take part in the intricate and endlessly interesting processes of providing for our sustenance is the surest way to escape the culture of fast food and the values implicit in it: that food should be fast, cheap, and easy; that food is a product of industry, not nature; that food is fuel, and not a form of communion, with other people as well as with other species—with nature.
So far I am more at home in the garden than the kitchen, though I can appreciate how time spent in either place alters one's relationship to food and eating. |

| The image of a lush garden of Eden hardly portrays the Middle East today. Yet life for the region's Ice Age inhabitants was less harsh than along the great northern ice sheets. As the ice retreated after the peak of the last glaciation, game was plentiful and wild stands of wheat and barley could be harvested to supplement the hunt. Are vague cultural memories of a prior climate and environment recorded in the story of the garden from which humanity was ejected before the rise of civilization? |

 John Parkenson, the famed English gardener and herbalist, grew licorice in his garden and used the roots to make herbal beer. He also recommended its use for people with hoarseness of the throat, ulcers of the bladder, wheezing, painful urination, and consumption (tuberculosis). He made a formula with licorice, figs, and maidenhair fern; the combination was boiled in water to make a sweet, pleasant-tasting medicine.
In ancient China, licorice was considered a principle drug among all drugs. It is perhaps the most commonly used herb in classical prescriptions. |

| Not that everything in the garden always works out so well; it doesn't, but there is a value in the inevitable failures too. Whenever your produce is anything less than gorgeous and delicious, gardening cultivates in you a deep respect for the skill of the farmer who knows how consistently to get it right.
When the basket of produce lands on the kitchen counter, when we start in on the cleaning and cutting and chopping, we're thinking about a dozen different things—what to make, how to make it—but nutrition, or even health, is probably not high on the list. Look at this food. |
