50% rabbit manure, 50% clay
Comments (11)The lady I got the rabbit manure from was trying to sell it for $5 a bag but gave me three bags containing about 40 pounds each for free as a free sample, but I had to clean out her chicken coop for free to get the free chicken manure she gave me too. She also gave me as much horse manure as I wanted for free, so I took 11 five gallon buckets of that. The horse manure was partially composted. But the rabbit manure had a lot of straw and grass and twigs and rabbit hair in it, and even a piece of plastic that looked like it was part of a radio. She said she wanted to start a business selling through home depot, but she will have to dry the stuff out and screen all the garbage out if she expects to do that. I used up 80 pounds of the stuff so far planting the one Costata Romanesque Zucchini and five Kobacha squash. BTW, I only got one and a half 5 gallon buckets of the chicken manure, but that stuff smells so bad I won't get anymore even for free. I spread it around one of my Avocado trees hopeing it would burn the bermuda grass, but the Bermuda is growing right through it. I can smell the chicken manure 70 feet away if the wind is blowing my way. I read on one forum some guy wanted to put ten tons of chicken manure on his garden. Hope he didn't do it because you would probably be able to smell his property a mile away. Once I mix the rabbit manure with clay and put it in a planting hole it doesn't smell too bad....See MoreWeeping cherry within the 50' zone of a walnut tree
Comments (0)I found a list compiled from Ohio State University saying a list of fruit trees that can be grown near Black Walnut trees. (Surprised me I thought no fruit baring trees went near walnut trees) Cherry was on the list of things you can plant near a walnut tree. I am considering 50 foot from trunk...not the drip line for the planting. After researching I don't feel I should have any trouble at all...surly weeping cherry falls into the same category as a cherry fruit baring tree in being tolerant of juglone. Even though it is considered an ornamental tree. http://www.planterspalette.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/black-walnut-toxicity.pdf...See MoreWhat type of trees to plant - Max. Ht. 50'
Comments (17)None of these are rare items, many of them are tall as well. Eastern redcedar (Thuja occidentalis) is one of the most common items (although represented mostly by cultivars in outlets rather than the less distinctive typical plant (ordinary wild species)). Himalayan cedar, Atlas cedar, Austrian pine etc. all standard fare, the kind of thing you could pick up at a big box (Lowe's, Home Depot...) or even a supermarket, in season. Hopefully you will do a little more research first and hit on some more interesting and appropriate choices, if you don't have acres one or two of (most of) these will fill the whole place up with yet another Deodar, Atlas cedar, Austrian pine... Including those in private and public collections probably at least 2000 kinds of trees are being grown in the Seattle area, there is lots more potential than has been discussed here. If you go look at some existing specimens of trees that catch your interest before making your final choices you can get a better idea of what you will think of them yourself later. If One Picture is Worth a Thousand Words, then one in-person viewing is worth even more. Here is a link that might be useful: Trees of Seattle...See More50 worst American cities in which to live
Comments (24)I'm very familiar with three of the cities:. Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and St Louis. Indianapolis is a lovely city with wonderful cultural opportunities. It's cost of housing is fairly reasonable and it is home to two universities. Cincinnati is also a lovely city - wonderful old neighborhoods with gorgeous houses, low cost of housing, cultural and sports opportunities. Housing costs are far less than many cities. St Louis. St Louis is an anamoly as it is a relatively small, old poor city, surrounded by 90 separate municipalities of all incomes, from poor old Ferguson to Ladue and other very affluent cities. There are many excellent school districts in some of these cities. St Louis has a wonderful symphony, a renowned art museum, a fabulous science center, a planetarium, a great children's museum, a world class zoo, a major botanical garden - the list goes on and on. Housing costs are reasonable and commutes are easy. And then there was the mention of Kansas City, KS. It is now, and always has been a poor industrial area. But it should NEVER be confused with the very desireable and affluent Johnson County, Kansas. Not the same at all....See Moreterryr
