Coal in the garden
Having just dug a trench up my drive to put in some kerbstones, I now
have a heap of soft coal, iron ore shale and clay. Seeing as how the neighbour's tree roots have grown through the coal, I wondered if I could use it on, or in, the garden, or if the tarry stuff that oozes out of it might cause problems. Perhaps I should just distill it and produce my own pesticides, now we can't buy them in the shops? My wife suggested the coal and shale as a mulch, but they just crumble to dust so I can't see them lasting long. Any ideas? John -- John Rouse |
Coal in the garden
Start a mine; start three in fact. You seem to have all the mineral
resources known to man in your garden. Any diamonds? Andy ;-) "John Rouse" wrote in message ...
