is probably ok anyways.

  look into rotation planting, green manures,
composting, mulching and learn which of your
garden plants are heavy feeders and need to
be followed by other soil recharging plants
like beans/peas.

  please read up on gardening using organic
methods as much as possible.  it will save
you a lot of later trouble and decrease the
likelyhood that you will poison yourself,
others or the the environment...

Why bother Billy.  I've found my killfile has an infinite capacity despite
the efforts of the trolls to try to repeatedly escape.

Oh, he's already in my KF, Fran. I only see his posts when someone else
quotes him, and I usually ignore them. I wouldn't have responded except
that it was a new poster, and Gunny was recommending using the same
agricultural approach that has already so damaged the environment. I'm
about as main stream in organic gardening à la Rodale as one can get. I
try to grow soil, and let the soil grow the plants in an environment
free from man-made chemicals. However, Gunny's recommendation that the
OP get their garden soil tested was sound, but with proper nurturing,
and treatment most any soil will become good gardening soil.

Thanks for the address for SBS <http://www.sbs.com.au/>
The variety of news broadcasts in Australia makes me feel down right
provincial.

SBS has Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Spanish, Greek, French,
German, Hindi, Arabic, Russian, Italian, and Turkish news broadcasts,
wow.

The best news we get here is from Democracy Now, the BBC, and the
"Journal" from Deutsche Welle. (Did you know that NATO was supporting
the backers of the deposed King Idris, who was installed on the Libyan
throne by the Brits? That's about one sixth of the Libyan population.
Operation Independence for Libya [OIL]. We've been scammed again!

Meanwhile back at the "cultural corner" of the garden, maybe the
Montalbano programs were "touched up" to be less objectionable to a
potential buyer (43 episodes at $10 AU/episode, or at Amazon $12
USian/episode). It didn't seem right that Australians would be prudes,
after all, we got both the criminals, AND the Calvinistic, Puritan,
Taliban style, wacko fundamentalists. The main character in the TV's
Montalbano is kinda a "hunk" type of persona, in a Sicilian working
class setting. No gentrification here. It's all grit, and in need of
repairs. Although a French friend of mine once told me that he liked
seeing the "father stone" underneath the missing plaster on buildings.
Lovey-poo, my wife, has read some of Andrea Camilleri's Montalbano
books, and she was somewhat disappointed with the Salvo Montalbano
character, because in the books he is more of a Georges Simenon's
Maigret type. A 50 something, overweight cop, with a penchant for good
wine, and food.
That reminds me, I haven't had breakfast yet;O)

Ciao.

Mad dog Republicans to the right. Democratic spider webs to the left. True
conservatives, and liberals not to be found anywhere in the phantasmagoria
of the American political landscape.

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.

And that is still a sound policy IMO.  Their posts soon give them away as
trolls who feel needy for attention.


But if you don't speak those languages, there's rather limited value to the
mainstream in having them.  I'm sure it's advantageous to the ethnic groups
who speak those langusage, but my French isn't even up coping with the speed
of the French news.

I do like the films though and the less mainstream sports.  The Tour de
France is on ATM and that is of course well worth watching.  It's playing
merry hell with our sleep patterns given that it concludes around 3 am - I
haven't yet managed to watch one stage through to the line - maybe by the
end of the 3 weeks if I build up to it.


I have no idea what they may have done, but as I said, there is lots of
raunchy stuff to be seen on that channel.


I used to enjoy Maigret.

Ask Lovey-poo if she's read any of Donna Leon's books.  The cop hero is well
worth getting to know - set in Venice so stylish in location,  urbane in
persona, well written and with corruption lurking like something nasty in
the woodshed.  (Apologies for mixing Cold Comfort allusions with vaporetto
fumes)
