Cool! I was born in San Angelo and went to college (ASU) there. I miss that area. Lots of good people out there.

Welcome to CBN, Ricky. And might I add, I love your music!
Thanks for the welcome.
I don't hear that line (about the musician Ricky Skaggs) much any more. Back in the late 80's I got lots of singing requests, but never more than once. [img]/forums/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Our garbage people also compost yard waste, and I have always wondered about one thing: The majority of yard waste they collect is in suburbia where spraying chemicals to control weeds, or anything else you could think of, is an "absolute" must. So when the grass clippings, etc., are composted, what happens to all the not-so-good-chemicals? [img]/forums/images/icons/confused.gif[/img] How could this be good for a garden? Chris
The poisons stay in the compost and many of them survive the composting. I would never use that stuff around any of my watersheds or gardens.
Manure that has been collected from feedlots is another source of stuff you'd lilkely be better off without. I suspect that most of the "STEER STUFF" you buy from commercial outlets is pretty well contaminated, INCLUDING THE BIG BOX STORE'S PREBAGGED PRODUCT.
Now I shall go to the closet and get my nomex longies as I may get flamed by someone who was brought up on fresh garden food that was fertilized and composted with the stuff and except for the lesions, cough, and sores on their lips and eyes they have never felt any detrimental effect.
