All week, Daddy’s been bugging me to go to this Customer Appreciation event they were having at the Bear Valley branch of our local hydroponics store {I don’t talk about it much, but the only plants I’ve been able to keep alive are my indoor ones. I quit trying to grow veggies outside in the desert b/c the animals and sun attack them! Now I just use our sunroom! LOL}. Because Bear Valley Hydroponics and Home Brewing store is 70 miles from us, I wasn’t really trying to make the ride with Little Man. Even as recently as last night I wasn’t going to go. This morning, though, I decided that I had to get out of our humid house for a little while and decided to go with Daddy. The main reason we wanted to be there was because there was a representative for the Vegananic line of growing products we use. {Yes, call me a freak if you want to, but I refuse to put nasty stuff into something I’m going to put into my body!}
As is in my nature, we were late leaving the house to get to the darn event! Honestly, it was Daddy’s fault this time – he felt the need to shave before we left, regardless how late we were. We packed up the car and headed off. I managed to shave about 20 minutes off our trip {I don’t promote speeding, but when you’re in a hurry to get to an event, sometimes you need to make an exception! LOL}. We got there with about an hour and a half to spare. Since Daddy and I are part of a small group of people who grow with only organic products, it was awesome that one of the store employees already explained that we use their product line to the rep and Dave from Vermicrop Organics was actually waiting for Daddy to get there!
We didn’t even visit any other booths! Sorry to the rest of the vendors there, but we were only interested in the line we use so there was no need to check out the rest of the booths. 
I was really loving how many people were interested in hearing about organic growing! A lot of people were stopping through Dave’s table asking questions about his products and how one would go about growing organically {including WHY they should!}. I’m truly convinced this method will catch on and become an industry standard someday. There are plenty of people who think we’re crazy, but we don’t care! Our plants speak for themselves, thank you very much! LOL
The event itself was a hit. They raised over $2,000 for the Big Bear Zoo and gave away over $4,000 worth of equipment and nutrients!! There was a zoo worker there with a giant snake, but I was too scared to get near it {Call me a wimp all you want… I’m a wimp without a snake bite!!}. They also had free food and drinks, as well as a raffle where they gave away some really pricey items!
If you’re ready to make the change to organic growing, check out Vermicrop Organics!! I use them for ALL of my indoor plants and trust me, they absolutely love it! I know they aren’t well known {YET!!!!!!!}, but is anyone else using Vermicrop Organics on their plants? If you’ve tried it, what do you think of it?? Why did you decided to grow with a Vegan mindset??
