| The angry Beneficial Microbes, because a framer used mineral salts like the ones in 10-10-10 fertilizer. We know so little about the soil or microbes so how do we know how they feel?
Not to mention which feeling they are feeling. A new organic gardener was telling me he read this in a Permaculture book. NO, I do not remember what the title is.:-) Can anyone tell me if he is right & how we have this knowledge. |

| They're probably not angry as much as they're just plain dead. Sue |
