    Just remember that the term, "Organic" is used pretty fast and loose nowadays. ;) BT does for one.

    Awesome Phil! I have one too but have yet to use it as I have an electric shredder/chipper that I use. I am curious as to how well the vacuum attachment works on my Black and Decker blower I just bought a while back. Do you have a leaf shredder of any type? If not you can put the bag on your...

    Bone meal...better options?

    Its all good Miguelovic and you have some good points. I was not in any way referring to the IC mag incident which I know nothing of, I was referring to CC leaving the forum and its not what you think but I am not at liberty to discuss it. Anyways I apologize for being short sometimes and not...

    Good advice HB01. Leaves are one of the greatest possible things you can have in your compost pile. Here's a good video on leaf composting. If you are interested in composting I highly recommend this book. Many consider this the bible on composting...

    That is true but if you put too much green material much of the nitrogen will gas off into the atmosphere instead of breaking down and staying in the compost. They say the ideal ratio of brown ingredients to green is about 25:1 to 30:1. Sometimes that can be hard for some of us to shoot for...

    That has been fertilizing farms for several hundred years here. Much longer in other cultures I am sure.

    I have read that is because horses do not have the digestive system to kill the seeds they injest. Cows on the other hand do and as well the ability to break down the lignins (woody substances) in the things they eat.

    I would think you would have no problems with all of that good manure.

    sun morning sun or afternoon sun ?

    I have always read that the morning sun caused the greatest growth stimulation but I can't verify that as I have never tested it.

    That's perfect my friend! Manure is the most important ingredient in a compost pile according to the Rodale Book of Composting that I am reading. The only thing better would be chicken manure or the best of all rabbit manure. HB01 gave some great advice as well and I agree with him 110% on the ...

    My apologies to the forum. I have been an asshole at times and that is to my shame. I need to stay out of the forums when I am in a bad mood obviously and that has been a lot of the time lately.

    Bone meal...better options?

    And that's true why? Because it's on the internet and you found a link to repute it? Typical. :rolleyes: Do you ever post anything positive? It's rare. It just shows how goddamn little, as usual, you know about things. Troll elsewhere asshole. And if you are going to whine to THP tell him to...

    Getting plants out of nutrient lockout?

    For those interested in organic gardening I submit this as the foundation of organic soil as a wise man once said and I agree 110%,   "Get your compost/vermicompost figured out and you won't have many questions that need an answer. What I'm trying to say here is that in an organic garden, first...

    Fresh Kelp on the Beach

    Where did you hear that? Kelp can reach 175' or so. That's about halfway up a California Redwood. ;) With all the hassle of gathering it, rinsing it, etc I would rather just buy good brown kelp meal as it is the best.
