Less rambling, way more punk rock and your garden questions answered! Check it out, here’s another gem recorded on July 8, 2009; better late than never. Rey, producer and editor extraordinaire, kept me on topic the best he could. A for effort dude!
Move over New Moon. Goth plants, gardening vampires, just some of the topics discussed. Hot. I’m the genius of myself but here’s some things I got wrong:
- I planted Botanical Interests Sun Gold tomatoes not Jelly Bean.
- I missed a few syllables and meant to say Diatomaceous Earth not Diamatious Earth. Wha?
My dog is a jerk even when supervised so I am retracting my advice. Keep the borax/sugar ant killing concoction away for your pets at all times.

I composted 50,000 tons per year of sludge, plus horse manures.
From what I see at first glance, this woman is not well versed in composting.
Manures need to be composted 27 day or more, before it is but out in beads 4 foot high in rows on a north south line so the sun shines on both sides of the pile.
Leaf make pooor product as carbon to nitrogen. Hard to access the carbon.
Hardwoods have higher available carbon content. H Wood 48% pine 4-7% carbon to access.
1 part nitrogen to 25-30 carbon.
HORSE MANURES HAVE HIGH SALT CONTENT.
The moisture content should be 60%; if you squeeze the compost, water should drip out.
Good compost takes 7 month to mature; product should be checked for ammonia and sulfides.
Use a centigrade thermometer, above 154 C you will kill the bacteria. Study mesospheric and therm-mophilic bacteria, as related to composting to get there thermo ranges.
