It is almost as rare as rocking horse manure.<br /><br />You are much closer to an incredible source of seaweed in Maine. He is so in touch with the gifts from the sea. I've ordered from Larch Hanson for years. He sells the ideal solution for your deficient soil. It is a type of seaweed which, unfortunately, is quite expensive for us to ship to Oklahoma even though a little goes a long way. His site is fascinating:<br /><br />https://theseaweedman.com/about-us/Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11206501173181278380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-56327727264840513532017-10-03T10:54:07.706-04:002017-10-03T10:54:07.706-04:00Gardening is more my lovely wife's thing.

I've read they eat many native grasses and their manure good gardening material.<br /><br />They are cute and furry though - might become more of a pet than a source of food.<br /><br />Foraging your location might also be worth a shot. Good way to get some exercise and knowledge - always good to have some extra options if and when things go sideways.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
