Re: milk
This is an oldie but goodie. Milk contains water, fat and calcium. We all
know that they like water and get it from other sources. Fat is a no no!!
That's why you never throw meat etc in a compost pile. Calcium, yes they do
like calcium that's why we use the calcium nitrate. The bottom line is,
don't try to feed these things milk.
