The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!
Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Journey to the Cross-roads
The Two Towers Edition
Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)
Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

Pharmacist: Hi! Can I help you?
Me: Yes, hi. I'm here to pick up Alyson Dupree's prescription.
Pharmacist: Dupree?
Me: Yes.
Pharmacist rummages around bins.
Pharmacist: What were you picking up?
Me: Prescription diaper cream. It was called in this morning.
Pharmacist: Hmmmm...I don't see it here. Hang on.
Pharmacist disappears for a sec and then returns.
Pharmacist: We don't have a profile for Alyson. What was the name of the medication you needed?
Me: butt balm
Pharmacist: Excuse me?
Me: Butt balm.
Pharmacist: OH! BUTT BALM! OK!!! It'll be ready in 45 minutes. We didn't mix it up yet since we can't do anything without a patient profile. Give me some information and we'll get it ready right away.

In a nutshell that's about adding granite dust to your garden soil. As a soil amendment like lime. Can also put some in the animal feed. You can get it at a gravel operation (quarry) where it's a by product of gravel crushing. Back up your pickup truck and they'll say, take it we don't want it. (Not all gravel operations crush granite rock)
Granite = volcanic. Many trace minerals from deep in the earth that the soil microorganisms feast on. Organic soil is a living, fermenting "brew" same as your compost pile. Depending on a region's rainfall these trace minerals get washed down and out of the reach of plant roots over thousands of years.
A study from 1942 showed higher protein wheat from dry West Kansas than from wetter East Kansas. All had to do with trace minerals and calcium in the soil. Trace minerals were more intact in West Kansas soils with it's lower precipitation over thousands of years meaning fewer trace minerals washed away.

She's pestering me now for Mermaid Fantasy Barbie. It's 10 o'clock at night and THIS is what she is jabbering about.
I'm going to lose my mind.

That was 5 too many!

Speaking of cornbread...I have a HUGE jalapeno on my plant!Guy told me a story how his goat got loose raided his garden and ate a lot of hot peppers with no ill effect. Some say, have a goat or garden but not both.

Deer's doing a pretty good job with mine....they've never eaten the watermelon before.
To: RMDupree
Swimming to the surface, checking for survivors. Looks like there are a good few of us still around.

Aren't deer and goat related and both will eat bark off trees and kill them.
