Guest guest Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 About 3 years ago, my wife went to a garden club meeting. A guy that lives about 20 miles from us did a presentation at the meeting. His name is John Evans and has some world records of largest vegetables. He uses aerated compost tea. It does not have that much nutrition as such. It multiplies the bio-organisms many times and that really helps plants grow probably more than the nutrients themselves because the bioorganisms helps release the nutrients from the soil. The Anchorage garden columnist, Jeff Lowenfels used to be Mr. Chemical until he went to John Evans setup and is now Mr. Organic. You can find out more by doing a search on these two names and go to this link. This lady is a biochemist. She has her own company and probably knows more about this than anyone. She even has some great books. http://www.soilfoodweb.com/03_about_us/approach_pgs/c_01_understand_why.html GB aerated compost tea by the gallon. have you thought of that? No, we do sell compost by the cubic yard, but I will have to check out the aerated brewers. I'll google it. We have a large population in A2 that would probably be interested. We compost leaves we get from the city when they do the fall pickups. We also sell Clean Green, a soy fertilizer. Its very popular, great stuff too. Monty's Joy Juice is another favorite. Every year we put in a huge plot of pumpkins, gourds, sunflowers and corn, and several of the employees (including us) have their own garden plot. We share the wealth among ourselves. Makes for good summer eatin'. AmyF wrote: There are 25 messages in this issue. Topics in this digest: 1. Cook Books " genny_y2k " genny_y2k 2.

" Erin " truepatriot ______________________ ______________________ Message 1 " genny_y2k " genny_y2k Mon May 8, 2006 6:37pm(PDT) Cook Books My favorite 25 yr. old Mexican food cookbook is one of my favorites. It is a Better Homes and Gardens " Cooking Mexican " ..I love the illustrated how-to for tamales, tortillas, and every thing else you can think of. Even a wonderful tortilla chocolate desert torte that I plan to make this summer. Soy of Cooking and Betty Crocker's " Vegetarian Cooking " are two other favorites. Wait a minute, I have more but right now I'm using the stack for a foot rest. LOL Tomorrow is 1/2 off store sale at the ARC so I will be cook book hunting again. Next month we will be getting ready to enter our canned chilis in the State Fair. Can hardly wait to see the judge's reaction and collect our blue ribbon..LOL My part of the world is filled with blossoms. The Lilacs smell wonderful.

Hashbrowns are more like a " free form " thing, just a pile of grated potatoes (sometimes with onions, bacon bits, etc) and rosti is formed into a thick pancake kind of shape and cooked to brown, then flipped, and browned on the other side.

It's from the Gold Medal Flour Cookbook 1917. It's an old cookbook bound together with thick string. Rice Croquettes 1 cup hot boiled rice 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon butter 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 egg 2 tablespoons milk Beat the ingredients together to the consistency of a firm paste. Shape into oval balls and dip into breadcrumbs, beaten egg and breadcrumbs again. Deep fry until browned and drain on soft paper towels. These are nice with a plumped raisin or a candied cherry pushed into the center before frying. Serve with maple sauce. ______________________ ______________________ Message 5 " Linda Hutchinson " Linda Mon May 8, 2006 7:10pm(PDT) Re: cookbooks Linda Sheesh!
