Oh, this is about animals but little off subject, GF in Wis had nephew go to China last winter, he emailed her about the pig farms!! He is a vet. dr. so works with animals & couldn' understand having pigs all over but no smell, guide said, see those people with those containers, they run around after the pigs & clean up poop & it is taken & turned into fuel for heating.Only fresh poop works tho. That was 1 of many interesting things he learned on trip. I hear 1 of Carolina's is full of pig farms & it could be new fuel source altho I think we would have to import Chinese folks to clean up after the pigs as don't think anyone over here would do it. About goats I lived on farm for short time when 5 & we lived in basement house, every time I stepped outside the billygoat knocked me down,I sure hated that critter!!Mom didn't like the farm either so we left after about 3 mos. If I see a goat I go the other way.Jan

Well actually, I spent very little if any time weeding last year. Between the sheet composting of leaves and coffee grounds, pine and straw mulches, and healthy plants growing nice and large, I maybe pulled a weed or two...maybe? I was surprised at how few weeds I had. I'd really like to keep it that way too. For now I have the buckets of manure in the shed. I am probably going to create some new beds so I thought I would use them in the lasagna method. I just wish I could be assured that there was no bermuda grass in the mix! I'm so afraid I'm adding bermuda to my gardens. Nasty, nasty stuff to deal with. Pt03, well, if you ask my husband, he'd probably say that when it comes to gardening I do need some therapy if not a straigh jacket ;-) Jane, I'm not worried about hay seeds. They are easy enough to deal with. I'm wondering though, if the goats are munching on a lawn of bermuda, are they pooping out viable bermuda seeds....hmmmmm I hope someone has an answer for me on that one. Let me know how your garden grows with your goat poop:) Michelle Michelle

HGW causes vasoconstriction of the pelvic blood vessels and is very useful when used with tribulus and yohimbe for imputence. Cant say I've ever seen the plant or seed for sale??? Has anyone else?

When planting you might try sowing a few seeds of each crop in small pots with weed-seed-free potting mix. Then use the known seedlings in the pots for comparision with what's in the garden beds. From your IDs you can decide what stays and what gets removed. But soon you will learn the recognize the various seedlings and won't need any samples to help. Weeding out most of the unwanteds when they are small is quick with a hoe, even a hand held hoe/cultivator. Just pull it over the seedlings on a warm sunny day so they are sliced off at the soil line. A little while in the sun will fry them and you won't even see the "organic matter" you have added to the soil. A mulch of straw, untreated grass clipping, or crumbly leaves from last fall can be put on top of the soil once the wanted veggies are a bit larger. It will help prevent weeds from growing and retain soil moisture.
