Christy, It really rained heavily all night last night and I was thinking that it was a good thing I sealed that horn with bentonite. Would it have filled up with water and would that have been all right?
Last week, Green and I dug an oval hole in our tallest French intensive bed which is in one of the warmest parts of the garden and put 10 fire bricks (larger than regular bricks) three tiers high in it. We potentized some local manure with local basalt that my husband identified and I ground up 3 dozen eggshells in my suribachi and put in two sets of compost preps, stirring the valerian for 20 minutes. We didn't quite fill up the hole because I held out some manure to fill 14 horns that Joe Clarke is lending me. I'll pick them up today or tomorrow and get them in during this warm spell. We covered the whole area with quaking aspen leaves. What ever happened with your video idea?
