Re: Miller in April

I can tell you this, llama poo-tea (hey...I should patent that name) is an
AWESOME fertilizer.  Just take the "llama beans" and throw some in a
watering can, fill with water and let it sit for a day or two to dissolve.
Then get a stick and stir it up and water your plants.  Beats the heck outta
Miracle Grow.  I'm gonna do a test this spring and photograph it for my
proof if people ask about it.  I'll show them the plants that DIDN'T have
llama poo-tea and those that DID.  The results speak for themselves.
