I'm in Center Point, just 7 miles from Comfort, TX. We have been here for 5 yrs growing olives, grapes, figs along with a vegetable garden. I have lots if questions about growing olives and table grapes in TX. One day we want to make our own olive oil. Anyone out there who can help? Ren Trapino

I also have found old roof shingles behind an old barn on our property. What would happen if I just burn them in my burn pile? The soil back there has been covered in leaves for years so it's nice black composted soil. I want to use it As my top layer in my raised beds. If I avoid that area where I found the shingles, would it be a good idea or bad idea to use all that nice black soil in my garden? Ren
