I hate to garden but having worked for a couple for three years as a handyman with an organic farm I know a few things.

Nature loves urine, chicken shit, and most likely, longhorn shit, so piss on everything and make good use of that longhorn shit.

I saw you in the web cam this morning.

I will have to try it. I sometimes
substitute barley for rice. I just finished a 10x16 hoophouse and used these folks exclusively for material.I recommend them.

Saw BBC's advice as I'm writing this. Get a gal. milk or H2O jug.
Every time you have to take a leak, use it.When it's full dilute
with 10 gals. H20. You won't believe the results.
I have often wondered if you spend more time on the greenhouse or shit duty.Being a field lab, build a digester,run the pipe into your
kitchen and get off the propane. The effluent is excellent fertilizer also.

Having read books by this author, I have no problems recommedning it. Also if you want to read someone else I think has some great ideas about how to grow food without all the effort that you see in most garden books I recommend Gene Logsdon. A farmer/writer from Ohio who has done big scale farming and backyard gardnening.

Dried urine salts are also an ingredient in some gun powders.

We're putting in a "Square Foot Garden" this year. I'm too lazy to do it the old fashioned way.

I'm very optimistic. I will bring you tomatoes in May.

It all looks and sounds great. Wish I was a gardener, though...
