Re: fixing up your soil
I first heard about pouring coke was 8 years ago from the gentleman at the
Purdue extension on helping your compost piles via natural methods. 6 years
of sitting with Dick on the county park board and I still hear him preach
using Coke in the mulch and compost piles. Part of it had to do with the
sugars and helping break down everything. I can't remember the other part.
Next Board I'll ask him and I send out why one wants Regular Coke not Pepsi
for the softdrink of compost...
Yours,
Kate

| Ray,
| My mother has been adding dog food to her beds for the last couple of
years.
| What it does, I'm not sure, but she says there's a difference. I think
she
| read about this in one of those Jerry Baker ( ? think thats the name)
| gardening leaflets. She also uses Coke (regular, not diet)...think I'll
ask
| her why next time we speak! Stale beer too, and not for slugs.
| Gotta find out more.
