glad to know about the salts. i used miricle- gro one or twice on it, but i make it kind of weak. its just like my whit bird, i havent used the m.g. on it because of the salts, so now that makes two i dont use that on! ill have to find the "tea bags" for the compost teas to use on them i guess. ill have to check out my new home(burgess fall nursery) and see if he has any to sell.oh wait, got a friend who has composted 1 yr old manure. so my den smells like

@#$%, for a while, its all good.
