Is Ted Kennedy gun-shy? Does he drink? Can he swim? Does he have trouble making left-hand turns?


(Out here near Boston, we think bears in the woods and popes are boring.)

Surely you meant right hand turns and yet you keep reelecting him. Must be a bunch of "members"

And I bet it was pretty much weed free with a pair of geese running loose! I bought a place that was full of weeds after 2 years the only thing left was wild onion which the geese didn't like.

shoot!! here i am cleaning out the brooder bin and washing it right down the drain. guess i better start pouring it on the lawn and in the compost bin!!!!! thats 5 days worth of good stuff down the drain!!!

It depends on what you are using for bedding. I don't think pine shavings or pellets would be good in the compost, I've heard wood products slow down decomposition. Straw or hay is great.​

I don't know how much different one kind of bird doo is from another kind, but we pay a fair amount of money for huge piles of turkey and chicken manure for our rice fields. It smells something terrible, but the rice likes it! I know chicken doo is great for composting, but if you are planning to actually end up with black gold dirt, you gotta have the carbon to nitrogen (brown to green) ratio right. A good link is compostinfo.com and they give a lot of info.

I am an avid composted and the day I started to put the shavings in my compost the temp increased and it was breaking down like James Brown. It's is such a good aerator! Highly recommended!
