Speaking of manure....(Frank, you are very scary to a neophyte like me, since I have no money to test my compost or my tea)...I am hoping that I have found my source for BC locally and will find out tomorrow if I can collect some cowpies off the pasture of two cows owned by the lady who started the Gardenia Center, the New Age Church in town, certainly not a feedlot, but a labor of love on her part, since she has to milk twice a day. I haven't talked to her about her motivation for having two milk cows on her place. I assume it's for the milk. I'll find out tomorrow.
I'm ready to buy my horn, but we're wondering about our pocket gophers. We have a bunch and we don't plant garlic or carrots in the ground because of them. They also eat fruit tree roots. I hate trapping them so we just tolerate them. Though Venus is now in Scorpio, the little critters are hunkered down right now and hard to find. Is it all right to bury my horn in the garden in a chimney tile with bricks on each end to keep the possible nibblies out of the horn? I'm assuming that putting small mesh metal wire fencing material around it is worse. It's hard being so dumb that I'm having unnecessary worries about things like this and about whether the cow(s) are BD or not. Next question. Do I close the horn with bentonite clay? If so, how thick? Why didn't I think to ask this question when I bought my horn at Lovettsville? Thanks yet again, Merla
