While I don't garden at all, my neighbors do and I let them have the clippings for their compost piles. First it was El Rancho De Moron AND now Casa Del Looneybin!?!?!? WOW, How many estates you managing these days? How do you find the time for boating and a vacation? |

I no longer farm commercially, but it was a truism that you have to replace everything you take away. Potassium and phosphorus have to be replaced, while nitrogen is fixed by the clover and nitric acid, generated by lightning, falls in the rain. Ammonium nitrate is good stuff if you want a green lawn, a high corn yield, or lots of blasted into small pieces iron ore. Casady |
