Dont Panic Its Organic, April 28, 2018
This week our guest is Frances Pavich, Owner of Amigo Bob's Organics. These folks have been around for a long time and they are one of my favorite “Earth Healers”. Her involvement in the organic farming movement started with her family, Pavich Family Farms in the mid 70’s and were early pioneers in the organic farming business. Together with Bob Cantisano, lovingly known as AMIGO BOB, they have dedicated their work to the creation of the purest and most effective organic soil nutrients around. Frances will be speaking about how and why the company started, who is Amigo Bob, what's the advantage of using their products over other brands, what their mission is, how their products help the environment and much more!
Guest, Frances Pavich
I am the Owner of Amigo Bob's Organics. My involvement in the organic farming movement started with my family, Pavich Family Farms in the mid 70’s. We were the early pioneers in the organic farming business. Since then I have gone on to develop my own company, Franny’s Organic (an organic raisin company) started in 2002, and recently am an owner/founder in Amigo Bob’s Organic (an organic soil nutrient and fertilizer company).
My passion has always been centered around food, farming and healthy lifestyles. My formal education is in Clinical Psychology, which provided me the tools to work with different people on many levels helping them understand the message of what holistic healthy living means. My informal education began on the farm. I have always been a Gardener - I love growing my own food, and I love teaching others to grow their own food and prepare it in a tasty way.!
I have been a speaker on Organic Farming and healthy lifestyles at many events: National Native American Business Conference, Health Food Forms, and various Governmental forums for Agricultural and Alternative Energy to name a few.

Listen to
Don’t Panic It’s Organic!
Banish pesticides and chemical fertilizers
from your garden.
The Invisible Gardener is here
to show you how to work with
Mother Nature instead of against her.
What are you putting in your soil? How are you dealing with garden pests and diseases? Conventional horticulture assaults the earth with pesticides and chemicals, sucking essential nutrients from the soil with each harvest. Organic gardening offers a healthier, more productive, and more sustainable alternative.
andy Lopez, a.k.a. the Invisible Gardener, started his business in 1970 and through this show he will reveal how to work in partnership with your garden while consuming less energy and producing fewer greenhouse gases.
Under Andy’s expert tutelage, you’ll discover -
- the importance of having 'living' soil
- natural tree care by understanding the Law of Cause and Effect how you can control bark beetles and other pests and diseases
- natural disease control by using a Refractometer to get Brix readings
- what Brix is and how you can use it for your garden
- the correct way to make use of compost and mulch, and why we make it in the first place
- natural pest control, the Greater the Stress, the Greater the Pest
- you will know what Brix is and how you can use it for your garden
- the correct way to make and use compost and mulch, and why we make it in the first place
- natural pest control: my motto is the Greater the Stress, the Greater the Pest
- organic lawn care and weed control
- natural spraying methods
- how to reduce your garden’s water needs
- what the role of Mycelium is and how to help it
- what rock dust is and how to use it
Conventional horticulture still clings to the claim that organic and conventional growing methods yield the same results. Andy reveals the flaws in this argument, proving organic practices and heirloom seed use can actually increase harvests.
Even if organic and conventional growing methods had the same results, which would you prefer: soil leached of nutrients by chemical overuse, or rich, natural loam cultivated by your own hands and Andy’s practical, proven methods?
A real gardener knows the answer instinctively. Don’t Panic Go Organic - you’ll never regret it.
The Invisible Gardener show will be a mix of andy’s gardening wisdom along with electronic music he writes himself. He is also an environmentalist and his shows reflect this. Listen to him live on BBSRadio.com every Sat Mornings 1 to 1:55 pm pst
