Home Gardening Becomes Even More Imperative

Drought in Australia has added to the food prices spike, which is feeding through to world inflation." I swear to Gawd I'd be much happier if we went back to the horse and buggy days. Michael But it still takes "fuel" to feed the horse. G Can't win can we? Wonder what the mpb (mile per bushel) for horses is? I still don't understand why biofuel is being manufactured from food instead of waste! There are tons and tons of weeds and corn STALKS that can be used instead. Wheat straw, millet, milo and sorghum straw (hell any stalks left over from ANY grain crops) as well as the non-edible tops from root crops. All it really takes is digestible cellulose. What am I missing here? A bit of BS perhaps? Speaking of BS, methane can also be compressed and used as a liquid fuel and heaven knows there is enough sh** being produced! -- Peace, Om Remove _ to validate e-mails.
