I just ordered fertilizer. What cost around $20 a bag last time I order is
currently well over $40. I guess I will not be feeding as much for a while.

Yeah, I'd forgotten about that... A local vendor was complaining about the
cost of insecticide, too. (Sorry I don't remember which insecticide...may
have been orthene) Were all going to Helena handbasket.

What's the alternative? It's not that much of an issue for us, with only 300
+/- plants, but it must be a killer for the commercial folks.

Guess the price of orchids will go up as well.

There is a MAJOR shortage of mono potassium phosphate out there right now.
Fortunatly i stockpiled a 1000kilos of it just in case. Our wholesale cost
of fert. is up at least 25% this year alone and we have been sheilded from
the worst of it by the Canadian dollar astronomical rise( or the US Dollar
crash, which ever way u want to look at it.) But inflation is only 2%.
The G says so,so it MUST be true.

The truth as to why oil and gas is so high

Just be sure you compost any manure you use. The last thing you need is to
be the source for an E coli or salmonella outbreak. No matter what the (now
deceased) idiot from Tasmania said. The USA just ain't that filthy anymore.

Our only hope is that, that guy doesn't know as much as he thinks he does.

Not such a mad chemist if you own a deisel car/truck. many fast food joints
would be glad to give you their old cooking oil and heres what to do with
it.

just don't tell the state you're making it or the revenuers will be all
over you for road taxes your not paying on you $.10 a gallon fuel.

Dusty, this is *AL* we're talking about!

In my secret life I wish I was employed as the owner and chief bottle washer
in a business selling maggots and leeches for use in medicine. I envision
myself answering the phone 'Medical Maggots' in a bright chirpy tone. Makes
me smile every time. Can you imagine my logo and stationery?
