Dear Allan, I dont want to be a spoil sport but surely you cannot say that a microbial analysis of a barrel compost could be considered to be typical of all Barrel Composts. All that it says is that is what the bioassay said of that particular test. Go well James - Original Message - From:

Ramial Wood Chips a Steam Weeder

Hi Tony, if you can get photo attachments, I'll send these 2 (small) pictures I have of the naked chickens to you. They're a startling red! They look a bit like very weird flamingos. Thanks, Martha - no prob., I'd be very interested. Tony.
