E-Mail 'The Editors' Quote of the Day:' To A Friend

1. Very interesting. As implied in the quote, not all organic material is created equal.
   We were fortunate to find “that guy” in our rural community. Every rural community has at least one.
   The farm where we get our garden soil from is owned by another old guy (like me) except he is a lot smarter than I am.
   He actually took college level courses covering agriculture with an emphasis on soil chemistry.
   He cautioned me against making arbitrary changes to our garden soil. I can get carried away sometimes.
   This quote implies that you need to know what you are changing and why before you mix in additives.
   Nothing boring about garden soil. I can dig it.

   1. Lee,
      I always appreciate a man who admits when another is smarter than he is.

      Carry on

2. Where is this image from on the quote of the day. It is the picture of the house and farm. I’ve see it before and can’t remember where?
