potatos? this time of year? Aren't they a winter crop for you? Not a winter crop here.Planted around Valentines Day usually.A fall crop can be planted,and make a few before the first killing frost. snuffy

the neighbors are always wanting bean poles Snuffy. I tell them it is a 'cut your own' farm. Great uses. My neighbor wove them into his hog wire fence to keep the deer from jumping it. That worked like a charm. Have seen some expensive deer fences. That one was cheap. Deer don't get in your stuff Snuffy ? James,several years ago during severe drouth,they started coming in mine,went and cut over 50 poles,stuck them in my chainlink fence,strung nylon weedeater twine along them.No problem anymore.My cousin across the fence had 150 tomato plants,sold tomatoes every year,the deer cleaned off every blossom off them.I gave her tomatoes to eat.She made nothing.If there is no drouth,no worries with them. snuffy

Nice source of garden poles you have there! I have some long ones that i use to grow those ornamantal scarlet runner beans, and they are great for morning glories too. Your storage solution for the pieces is cool, do the bees nest there in the A frame? That A frame was a birdhouse I designed and built,the only problem was no birds used it. This will be the first year,so don't know how it will work for the bees.Morning glories will surround my garden this year. snuffy

Kinda been playing waiting on spring planting.Always looking at James bamboo.I have a patch of it and am always trying to find a use for it.Bored today,took some pics I am planting several kinds of birdhouse gourds this year.Different structures for them to climb on. Put wire on it,ready to go. Will have these all around the garden Cut lots of small pieces for a bee house,for solitary bees and wasps,good pollinators. Couple trellises for cucumbers snuffy

Snuffy, I suspect that the excess will be in thick layers that never really completely harden. More than likely the stuff would be like hard tar and the layers would range from too thick to work with to way too thick. Wouldn't it be sweet to find an old auto painting rack laying somewhere covered with the stuff? I figure that will most likely be the case snuffy

I have to get back with my cousin who paints large commercial trucks and trailers.They dump their excess in 55 gallon barrel.They have been doing it a long time.I have no idea what it looks like,or what condition its in.I talked to him about it in the past,I don't think about it again until I read a post about fordite.

I am thinking 'Snuffy's Agate Mine'. The fact that you have so much pet wood in intriguing. Lol Agates are few and far between James! However,the wood is a different story.Have an intense dislike of digging fence post holes with a hand post hole digger most of my life.The flat pieces of wood like to lay on their sides,making moving over necessary lots of times.Dont have to worry bout that any more. snuffy

Decided to do a test dig in my garden area.I've upended rocks and wood while working my garden before,but due to building my beds on top of the existing soil,have never did a detailed check of whats actually under it.Well,I did a 2ftx2ft square,and started digging.The first couple pieces of wood showed up at 2 inches deep.The layer of rocks were4 inches thick,went to a depth of 6 inches to the clay layer.30 lbs of stones later,about 45 minutes to do.4 square feet,30 lbs,43,560 square feet in an acre,heck of a pile.Anyway heres pics. The dirty pile Clean wood Jaspers,quartzes Smaller ones Few favorites Realy like this one,looks like some little poppies in it Thanks yall for taking time to look! snuffy
