Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Thanks, Teri.  I will read more about this.  Goliath, Sr. thought it was HIS
JOB to rid our acreage from ALL snakes and skunks which is why I had never
seen snakes around here while he was living.  This will be helpful for my
present pets.  We live far out from town so  we don't get cable TV -- so
can't watch the show you mentioned or PBS TV where Mel probably frequents.
