Reading all these posts was interesting, here in Southern Idaho we have had cold but not as cold as our Canadian neighbors to the North. Ice storm last evening, and now is about 32 degrees F, with hopes it gets into the 40's F this week.

There is really something about howling wind when one is safe inside. I grew up in North Dakota in the 50's, lots of wind and snow and we lived on a farm far from anyting. Loved to watch the dancing snows and the drifting, amazing things grew overnight. My brothers and I thrived on Winter, as I am sure some kids still do.

Welcome Mark. Looking forward to your book.

My compost pile is done, almost everything I dumped into it is now black, and mostly not recognizable. I am ready to apply to garden and flower beds. How thick is the optimum amount to place around plants? Is 1 inch enough, 3-5 inches is that better?  I would like to hear from others.

I had no idea there were so many different and very interesting beans, and all different colors.

Beans always good

Thanks for that Now I do understand it a bit better.

I will make my own in small batches the wood for me is free to use.

I could not find what you referred to, could you be more specific? Thanks.

Just saw a video on You tube about this product and making biochar for garden from it.

Was wondering if that is OK or is their a problem here?



Would appreciate comments.
