"Does anyone know if Mr. Singh also sells topsoil? Or does he sell compost only? Haven't been to his farm yet, but looks like a trip is in my near future. We are installing two raised garden beds and I'm looking for a quality topsoil to add to my…"
"Solving our waste problems, and re-vitalizing our soil are huge challenges, globally and regionally, and since all animal health depends on soil health, these are urgent problems to solve. That requires our collectively taking massive action, which,…"
"Have you ever had a good crop from this mix, or is this the first crop? IF it is the first crop, my first guess would the the "compost".
Few people understand oxygen in compost. There is a sacred MYTH in the composting industry that windrows of…"

"Thank you sound reasonable. I will try it out."
"Is there a local college that will test soil for pH etc at no cost before I start to plant ?"
"Erika,
I followed your link and learned soemthing about the two main processes for decaffeination. Very helpful information. I can appreciate your dilemma. It's funny how often questions lead, not to answers, but to more questions, which must play…"

"The main way they extract caffeine is by using solvents like methylene chloride, ethyl acetate, and highly pressurized carbon dioxide. I found this site that has a breakdown of the process and a few others that use less harmful procedures. Just best…"
"Erika,
I think it's great that you're giving such good advice to Sedaj. Why do you say no decaf coffee grounds int he compost? That's all I drink, and use in my compost.

"Without photos it is hard to tell exactly what is going on with the sun, but I would think that the area you have the bed might get a lot of sun in the summer, getting full on sun when it sets and is the hottest, with your block wall a heat island -…"
"The raised bed is on the east side of the yard on this side of a brick wall. We planted the seeds the first of Aug. We began composting this summer and we love it! It reminds me of working with my grandparents when little :) I will go out and get…"

"Thank you so much for your response. We are growing pumpkins, squash, and zuccini. The raised bed is on the east side. We water daily until the seedlings are about 4 inches tall and then every other day. Some of them look like they can't take the…"
