They own cattle and have mountains of manure in varying degrees of breaking down. We will of course opt for the really old stuff for our gardens and greenhouses. Can't wait to see what you do with it.Gail - Fort Rock Glimpseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00185879733938195294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690646970666842725.post-81105650894709285042010-04-20T23:10:56.438+02:002010-04-20T23:10:56.438+02:00Yeah, I guess the trees complicate things consider...Yeah, I guess the trees complicate things considerably. But based on previous evidence in your blog I have to imagine MotH will come up with an ingenious solution, or you will, or together you will. Hope you get more of your crops than the hail and the critters this year...Fern Driscollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417002529475962869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690646970666842725.post-63231342924155517162010-04-19T12:27:40.960+02:002010-04-19T12:27:40.960+02:00Fern - ha!

As for the nets - well, unless basic geometry includes 4 fruit trees of varying heights on various points of the slope, then perhaps it would simply amount to unfurling the masts and tying them down. We'd really like to have more than a handful of unblemished fruit this year!Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335673619430109527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690646970666842725.post-23574967431761654242010-04-19T11:57:42.149+02:002010-04-19T11:57:42.149+02:00Lovely, soil.

The captain is digging a new orto for us this year, so has sympathy for MotH and his hauling duties. Feh! Good luck with the nets - should be the same basic geometry as flat, no?Fern Driscollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417002529475962869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690646970666842725.post-24296289157321131152010-04-19T08:33:25.098+02:002010-04-19T08:33:25.098+02:00A good thing we left the dogs at home because I kn...A good thing we left the dogs at home because I know that the both of them would be having at it as soon as they saw MotH digging in the dirt!Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335673619430109527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1690646970666842725.post-27820963609575852322010-04-19T01:42:58.494+02:002010-04-19T01:42:58.494+02:00that is a LOT of dirt!
