As an organic gardener, I avoid chemical fertilizers. I use compost mostly but if it appears that a boost might be needed, I use fish emulsion or...

Until I grew my own, I didn't know there was any other kind of kale but Curly Kale. That's all my mother had years ago. It's all I've ever seen in...
