Pat was only quoting off me. And I was only stating who I thought of as my mentors, as in who influenced me off with organic gardening.

It was never meant as a thesis on who was responsible for starting organic gardening off.

Nor was I around in the 1940’s to be reading that particular publications. But I was around and reading in the 1970’s and 80’s. And the informatiin that I was getting then was from gardeners like Deans and Stout

I guess I stand corrected, I don’t really know my gardening history very well… In any case, Ruth Stout is the one who got all the fame and glory, at least here in Europe where she holds a bit of a cult status especially in central Europe and Scandinavia.

With all due respect to Ruth Stout, J Rodale started his Organic Gardening magazine in 1942…she became a writer for his magazine in 195o something….
