Of course, you've talked to the folks at Rodale, right?

One of my co-workers, here in PA, is a PA Master Gardener (one of the cooperative extension
services) and she was just talking about biological pest controls to me the other day (talking
about our hobbies, you see.) So either PA has a different attitude or getting help for ones
garden is a bit different than getting help for a farm.
