| Dear Jeny:

| Moderately heavy watering may leach off some of the excess
nitrogen. I

something I have

uses some
| nitrogen to get started decaying, so this might bring down your
N levels
| temporarily. This is also an experimental treatment. But,
except for
| possible overwatering (depending on your soil's drainage) these
suggestions
| should be inexpensive and not dangerous.
|
| Do not get sawdust from sawing particle board, plywood, or
creosoted or
| other treated woods. You don't want to add unspecified poisons
to a food
| crop! Avoid all types of adhesives and wood treatments.

Ok, we'll try it! Thanks Tom.
