"I manage the Twitter account for @MG_Ontario, and write many of the tweets. Thanks to Twitter, I found your website which is one of the most interesting and informative sites on the web about gardening. I'd just like to tell you how much I appreciate the level of information and the fact that you are willing to share it. The only thing more wondrous than a garden is a gardener with the passion to teach others. Thank you so much!"

"I really take to your approach on things, especially with your emphasis on soil biology and and biodiversity of the entire garden ecosystem. I am working through all your lessons and links and trying to take some notes so hopefully I can catch up to how quickly you are feeding me the information! Again I just wanted to share my thanks for all this valuable information that you are sharing with me and everyone else to help make this world a better place and to help enrich the life within it!"
Anthony Florio, Burnaby, B.C.



"Phil Nauta is a lifeline of knowledge and patience in the often mutinous transition from a chemically treated lawn to a self-sufficient one. Quite honestly, I couldn't have done it without Phil's input and support. East-Courtenay is a little greener and healthier because of him."
Eric Servizi, Jim's Mowing



"You have been a source of wisdom, encouragement, humour, and influence for me in the past year. I am so glad you are in my circle!"
Marilyn Bowker, Duncan, B.C.



"I look forward to reading your blog every time. The information that you bring is always fabulous and I really appreciate every bit of it."
Donna Wells, Vancouver, B.C.



"Your information helps me to have the facts when I talk to my customers and potential customers. The things I tell them, as an organic practitioner, is contrary to what they hear from most other professionals. The more facts I can come up with the better to convert their thinking. Keep all your stuff coming, I read every word and couldn't agree with you more."
Patti Mair, Lynnwood, Washington



"Thanks for continuing to send the newsletter. I receive a few newsletters from others but usually disregard. Yours is the only one I actually read & then sometimes pass it on to those I know who would appreciate it."
Catherine Jamieson, The Constant Gardener



"Your improved website is absolutely grand. There's so much pertinent and important information to be had. And it's written with such wonderfully understated intelligence. Thank you as always for your wonderful service."
Linda Evans, Salt Spring Island



"Thank you so much Phil for your advice regarding my problematic compost. The Activated EM and Penergetic Preparation you provided helped turn a smelly and potentially harmful situation into a pleasant pile of healthy, nutritious organic matter that I confidently use in my garden beds. I also applied your products over my leaf mulch and you can just see the leaves disappear into the soil while rich black earthworm castings are popping up everywhere. What a difference organic matter and microbes have made to a garden that was parched and dead-looking only two years ago! And congratulations on your re-designed and updated web site! It is essential reading for anyone serious about organic gardening. What I especially like about it, besides the solid information, is the nice calm tone, and how your respectful but 100% dedicated attitude is shining through. I'm sending the link to all my students, clients, and colleagues."
Christina Nikolic, Victoria, BC



"The endomycorrhizal fungi that Janice and I got from you last month has been incredibly effective. I'm particularly surprised by how quickly roses react to it. After inoculation, the roses I treated dropped all their diseased leaves and flushed out in new healthy growth. I've treated my own plants and several client 'rose gardens' now with the same encouraging results."
Kathy Cruzelle, Victoria, BC



"This has been such a great experience, just reading your website, thank you so much."
Tina Barabonoff, Langford, BC



"Just wanted to say I love your site, your messages, and the love you have for what you do. It's a breath of fresh air among all the bad-news emails I get daily. I think you have a valuable, unique point of view, and I anxiously await the opening of the academy."
Susan Kulis



"Hey Phil! I just came to thank you for your work! It's really helpful. I'm from Brazil, I'm in agricultural college and really appreciate your website!"
Gabriel Kehdi, Brazil
