Annie Spiegelman, the Dirt Diva
Raised in the asphalt jungle of New York City, with a can of Raid in her hand, Annie Spiegelman moved to the Bay Area over ten years ago and became a passionate environmentalist and Master Gardener.
She is the author of two previous books on gardening (and life):
“ANNIE’S GARDEN JOURNAL: Some Thoughts on Roses, Life, Weeds, and Men”
and “GROWING SEASONS: Half-baked Garden Tips, Cheap Advice on Marriage and Questionable Theories on Motherhood.”
Her third book entitled “TALKING DIRT” (Penguin Group), an organic gardening how-to guide, will be in bookstores nationally on February 23, 2010.
Spiegelman writes a popular garden column entitled Dirt Diva in the Bay Area’s Pacific Sun newspaper while also working in the film business as a First Assistant Director. She claims she spends her days dodging bullets from the cutthroat publishing business, the maniacal movie industry and her teenage son… And rarely uses medication.

This is certainly one of the best sources of information I have located on this topic. I would like to know if you have you considered the other side of the subject of gardening? To be candid, I think a good argument could be made either way, but let me know if you have found more sites or articles on the Internet that back up what you are saying.
Emeline,
Fill me in on what you mean by the “other side of the subject of gardening?” I am always open to consider all sides.
