Just imagine a bantam Polish rooster harassing a nine pound Buff O? It would be funny, but Ben gets annoyed by him. I'm very glad that Ben is such a cool roo!

Actually, I chose the wrong names for those roos. Should have been "David and Goliath"

Try soaking your hand in very warm water before you stick. You are sticking the side of the finger, right?

Thanks!! I’ll try that. And no I was doing the tips or the pads. Didn’t get much blood on the side but then again I had a callous on that spot.

I'm my opinion that's not the greatest garden mix to be selling, but the only way to know for sure would be to put it to the test. Did you try planting any thing in in yet?

I had planted some baby daylilies and 3 bare root raspberries. What I also did is go in the woods and scrape up a few buckets of sortof aged horse manure and mixed it in and it's great!!! Looks like the stuff I would have expected. So the compost I'll be getting will fix it.

I have to say that the guy over at the dirt and rock place told me he mixed it that morning but he couldn't remember the %'s in the mix. The unmixed soil was right next to it and you could barely tell the difference . I had to ask him which one was the mixed one. I'll bet he skimped on the compost . If he can't recite the percentages......

I think when I get the compost tomorrow I will still fill the box 1/2 full or a bit more of the "garden mix" and use the compost soil mix for the top 3 inches.

Went all out on brunch today and a giant mug of tea (more like a bowl really) to top it off

So long as you or yours aren't the ones caught in the fast burn

That rather depends on ones state of health. An estimated 80 % of those infected get relatively mild symptoms. A fairly small percentage of the remaining 20% die from the virus.
Here in Spain some sources estimate that a large proportion (we may find out in time what that proportion is) would have died from other health issues within three months.

You should not be doing the tips or center . You should be doing the sides . So you have 20 sides and you go thru them, then start over. Because if you end up sticking more often you do not want sore fingers.

The pile of horse manure I used to have in the woods took 3-4 months to turn into compost. The ones I have here , well after a year there's very little composting. I wonder why.

I have a cousin that just died because the hospital cancelled a procedure. The hospital was full with CV 19 people.

The problem with herd immunity is it over taxes the hospitals ...and people who need medical help for other things are SOL

The medical people are worn out now and getting sick. There is not enough medical staff, ppe or ventilators or places to put them
