Bat Guano

-- [ From: nonayobusiness * EMC.Ver #2.3 ] --

I  read the same thing  about bats in my microbiology textbook.  You can
get  rabies by breathing in viral  aerosols in caves.  If you've ever read
the poem by Walt Whitman; I believe it's  called COMPOST, or BEHOLD  THIS 
COMPOST, or something like that, you will understand that everything has
broken down  animal  in it, somewhere.   It is  impossible to eat purely
vegetable products, because if you took everything away  from this world 
and  left just the nematodes & other little critters, you could still see
the world!  (Am I making sense?)  By the way, all of a sudden, the
jalapenos all started turning red!    How do I know that my giant 
sunflowers are ripe?  The seeds, that is.  I can  see  some of them, and
the  stripes look kind of greyish, but I've never grown these  before, and
I don't know what to do  now.  Or do I wait until I see some birds gorging
themselves on them and then  I know  they  WERE  ripe!

We had raised beds at the last house, because of terrible drainage.  We
used pieces of scrap lumber as the edging  of the beds,  and although it
didn't look fantastic (it was all old  pieces of a demolished deck), it
worked very well.    Now I  live in a place with sandy  soil, that  drains 
too fast, so I have flat  beds, and some even go up a little bit at the 
edges to catch  and hold  H20.  Lauren B. Zone 6 NY
