Thanks Tony and SS Have been through all of Gliessman & Pritts' work, found Steve's links very helpful as usual. Took on a conventional berry farm (community run for mentally disabled) for certification in an Organics assignment, and now have them interested in many aspects. Working not only with strawberry and raspberry also goose, young, boysen, black, blue and currants. Any BD experience with these would be appreciated, they've given me rows of each to work with.
