Dallas Composts Seminar

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

Please excuse the crossposting.
I'm posting the information from the brochure to the list in

case anyone else is interested. Larry Wilheim, one of the
organizers, said he was concerned because Dallas only got
the brochures printed up this week and has generally done a
poor job of getting the
information out. He said that a similar conference last year

cost over $100. Hope some of you all can attend. Sadly, we
already scheduled a vacation for that week.
Hey, if you go, tell 'em I sent ya.
