Yeah, that is my concern. I am attending a Cooperative Extension workshop this weekend with a speaker from UW and a local person. I need to write down these questions. thanks. I would probably not have thought of it and just sort of soaked up what they were talking about and not taken the opportunity to ask. We do have a permaculture group here that I need to join. Just found out about them a month or so again at the Annual Botanical Garden workshops. They offer a course but it's $800. Might be worth it if you figure on saved time, but a lot of it might not be applicable to my situation. I am assuming that stuff rots slowly here because of the cold. Can't imagine it does much for many months of the year due to our long winter and slow spring. course we have nice long falls that are pretty nice. Less rain than summer at least.
