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

Sheryl, hi, incase no one else asks, I sure would like to learn how to make 
that fish emulsion you mentioned--I find it a little expensive around my area 
and having used it on house plants years ago, I have often wanted to use it 
in the garden.  Also has anyone any good plans for systems for making manure 
tea.  I brought home a large metal barrel probably 18 years ago to make one, 
but couldn't convince sugar bear that it was a good thing to do.  And now I 
don't know what had been in it or whether I had knowledge enough about toxic 
materials to care at that time.  I think OG had an article about  securing a 
screen of some kind  at some point above a spicket that you put near the 
bottom of the barrel and just through in the manure and added water, letting 
it drip through like a coffee maker(gross illusion, sorry bout that).  If 
anyone knows that plan or a better one I'd love to hear about them.  I 
appreciated the tips on chickens--think I'll do it.  Especially after talking 
to a computer systems analyst today over dutch ovens in a local 
farm/surplus/camping/ survivalist/ cowboy/ fish-sport/ etc store and he told 
me his y2k concerns.  Not to end on a downer--after being uncerimonially 
dumped on (snow)last week after beautiful weather for over a week,(we had 
been happily redoing garden beds and planting)I discovered little tiny 
pansies comming up around my daffies and tulips. Somewhat miraculous to me 
since I thought a killed them off by allowing the bigges nasurtums I ever saw 
to shade them out.  Now isn't that a good part of why we do this--the 
amazement of the unexpected blessings of working God's soil.  BTW in you 
mind--correct my spelling where necessary(shorthand and social work ruined it 
and my signiture.  May you always have a good garden hat and a gentle breeze.
