Post on Craigs list in your area. the best bet is to take a small piece of rootstock. It will grow like crazy. Be careful or it will take over an entire area. Good Luck TiMo

ryinpairodice - I have a space in the back of my yard where the comfrey and nettles should be alright. I don't want to interplant them. I was just going to soak them in water, and use that as a soil drench. And I was going to use the sterile bocking 14 comfrey, that's not supposed to spread like the other kind. But I'm just going by what I read, so I could be wrong. I was thinking about some kind of cover crop in the fall, but I'll still need something for this year. The spot I'm going to plant in is covered with grass and weeds. Lots of queen anne's lace, and various other things. I think I'll leave some of the queen anne's lace, since it's a carrot, and it's supposed to be good for the tomatoes. But I thought about mowing the area once, and raking up the mowed grass and weeds onto the bed areas. I was also thinking about getting some straw for mulch to smother the grass and weeds, so I wouldn't have to dig them up. But I'm wondering if the mowed grass and weed mulch would be enough, without the straw. I think it would be safer, since I wouldn't risk importing any problems with the straw. But I was worried too much grass might cut off the air to the soil. It's not just grass though, so maybe it would be alright? Then I could just cut and pull weeds throughout the season, and keep throwing them on top the beds, like you said. Could that give me enough nitrogen for this year? Nothing's been grown in that spot for a long time, besides grass and weeds, as far as I know.

First, please reconsider Home Depot. They did my countertops a couple years ago, and I'm still mad about it. They were very quick to take my money, but they did not deliver on time. I had to keep calling them to ask when they'd have the items (which were not special order in any way) ready. They didn't install 'til 5-6 weeks after the original promise date. Then they discovered - after the ountertops were in -- that the backsplash I'd ordered wouldn't work in my kitchen. Why couldn't the man who came out to measure the kitchen figure this out?. No apology, no suggestions on what else to do. And they weren't nice about refunding my money. I would not go to Home Depot again-- not even for something simple like light bulbs ot trash bags. not even if they were giving things away for free. As for your plans, I like them . . . Except I'm not sure that in such a small kitchen you can afford the space for a dedicated mixer lift.

I don't love either of your samples. I would also never make a selection based on that tiny sample. Bring more samples home. Once you have narrowed it down to 2 colors, you should then order a box of each and lay them out in your home. Your flooring supplier should place a hold on enough flooring from each color, so that when you pick the box you like best, you are actually getting the same lot # for the whole order. Yes, you won't be able to return the box you rejected, but that is a small cost, compared to ordering and installing a whole house of new floors and realizing that you hate it and it looked nothing like the tiny sample you had used to pick the floor.
