 It's not what it used to be May 24, 2008
I have not subscribed to Organic Gardening for several years, it was still the 6 x 9 format then. Recently I bought some back issues from the 60s containing a lot of good information which renewed my interest in growing organic vegetables. I followed through and subscribed to the current Organic Gardening magazine receiving the June/July 2008 issue as my first. Judging from this first issue of Organic Gardening the magazine contains a fraction of the articles in the older issues and the ones that are there are shallow with little real useful information. A bit of a disappointment.
 Pleased with Organic Gardening August 7, 2007

I've only had the opportunity to read two issues of Organic Gardening, but was satisfied with the contents. The articles were concise and offered valuable information, suggestions, gardening hints that I believe would be useful to all gardeners. The fact that it covered a diverse amount of information and that it did not focus on "just" vegetables nor "just" flowers made for interesting reading. I would recommend others to subscribe.
 Great magazine! August 7, 2007

I just love this magazine. One, it is organic so they don't tell you to dump weed killer on everything. They have product reviews and down to earth information on how to make your yard exciting and fun without poisons. My dogs are always eating the fresh grass, so the last thing I need to do is dump some crap on it and make them sick. Fun read!

i too have stacks of organic gardening and farming. i love to go back and visit Robert Rodale. Too bad it has become a political bullypulpit. I would not subscribe again with out a major change.
A shadow of its former self August 24, 2004

I have read and subscribed to Organic Gardening (and Farming)since mid-70's but dropped my subscription in and around 2000. I pick up an issue now and then in newstands, just to "check in" and hope for a return to the "good ole days". The publication used to be superior (find old issues in a library to see the what I mean - especially the 70's) and gave tons of information to all levels of gardeners (some issues used to have 100's of pages, almost all text - though in a smaller format). I still have old copies and to this day find inspiration in those articles. Now its just LARGE glossy pictures, sparse writing, reduced page counts, basic gardening info/lists and more than a dose of Maria Rodale's opinion/politics. I guess their surveys/advertisers tell them this is what "organic" gardeners want...but I would bet Robert Rodale (who edited the mag back in 70's and early 80's) would be upset to see how his daughter has screwed up the magazine. Save your subscription and read the old ones at a library. Yeah...the varieties will be out of date (that's what a seed catalog is good for and/or seedsavers.org) but the info is pure "organic gardening".
