Teema: I'd like to offer my apologies to the members in the UK

for offending them. I was hoping to show how it felt to have one's country continually attacks. Apparently it was a bad idea as it offended many of my UK friends as well. So to them I say I'm truly sorry and to all I offer my apologies. I'm off to go soak my head now.

Teema: is this a fruit or a nut?

nobleheart toimetatud (14. september 2005, 01:41:34)

none of that allowed on this board.

14. september 2005, 02:24:36

I'm sure the "Farmers Almanac", will strongly recommend planting things such as radishes,carrots,beets,potatoes,onions,and garlic during the"dark" side of the moon.

Teema: Re:

Foxy Lady: What are some good ideas for making a compost pile and what's best to put in it and maintain it? ;)

14. september 2005, 02:38:31

Teema: Re:

Foxy Lady: Because of garlics long life in the earth,it will produce.
Perhaps if you had time,you could plant at both of the moons phases.
I believe you would be amazed at the difference.

14. september 2005, 02:45:57

Teema: Re:

ArtfulDodger: We use grass clippings and leaves.My husband also uses a can of Pepsi to get new composte cooking.It needs to be turned every few days so far we've have good luck with it.

14. september 2005, 02:50:45

Teema: Re:

Kipling: So far we have very good luck with the garlic every year.We plant the way my granmother does and has for about 30 yrs and her garlic is pretty good in size and very potent.
I'll think on that one since we plant garlic next month where i live.
