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

Pardon my lack of computerease-I don't know how to put this link in- try
Jerry Baker.com- he uses all kinds of beer and spitting tabacco and
mouthwash and the folks that have used his recipes have glowing reports from
greeing up you stuff to getting rid of pests- he likes to sell some stuff
but many of his tips are old and time honored- Might enjoy checking it out.
