Thank you Frank and Linda.
I need to make a change in how I do things. This older body I am living in just isn't up to the same kind of labor I was more than willing to do when I started the garden.
The people the owned the feed store before the people who own it now used to call me to come down and let me sweep out all of the alfalfa dust that had fallen through the slats of the pallets they had in the alfalfa shed before they filled it up with a new load. Sometimes the timing was inconvenient, but I considered it a blessing and was ready to drop everything and go clean out that shed any time they called.
The new owners just are not open to that kind of thing.
I can't create enough compost to feed my soil or buy mulch up here, so I have to go out and get the material I need for the garden. Even tho' I go out quite often, that work is getting harder as the years go by, but it has been worth it because my soil is so much better.
