Thanks, Bob, that is a useful article. The quick version, ameneser, is that you don't want to add a whole lot of uncomposted woody stuff to your...
Ouch with the hip; hope it's healing. Glad you like the Desert Gardener; I was pretty impressed. He takes questions, too. I don't know if...
Just noticed that you'd said something about trying to turn your pile with a shovel. I used to do that too, and it's a quick route to hell. I...
Is your pile covered? If not, the top is probably too dry. Amaneser, I really recommend that you look at a couple of basic sites about composting....
Glad that was helpful, amaneser. Something else from one of your early posts makes me nervous. You mention getting grass clippings from a golf...
Yes, it's true. I just posted on my blog about issues with manure. Cattle feed contains heavy metals, antibiotics, and hormones; they get...

Wolvie, if I'm understanding you (and please correct me if I'm not!), you appear to be saying that because the surfactant helps the glysophate...
I've been trying to decide whether this got posted on the wrong thread, and finally decided maybe not; Bob, are you saying that the "popular vote"...
About Round-up: the primary "active" ingredient in Round-up, glysophate, is not the major concern. One study by the Commonwealth (i.e., state) of...
I thought I replied here a couple of weeks ago, but I guess not. Trimnut2, thanks for the kind words; I'm a little more restrained at the...
That is fascinating, Kaitain. Back to your opening query, Wolvie--I'm also concerned with the need for a more scientific approach to organic...
