waste materials on your lawn

updated mon 25 apr 11

it is amazing how many glaze materials we use
as potters are available in garden stores as very
expensive perk ups for your lawn and garden.

what one group lauds as the savior of your
plants, the other thinks is `toxic poison`.

it is amazing to me that materials that
are the most common from the earth and
nature can be deemed to harm us.
and don't let that philodendron inhale co2.
i hate that.

but, we drive cars at 90 miles per hour
through town drunk....and often that
drunk is forgiven.
go do it again. and then text message and smoke
cigs, and have a beer between your legs. at 60 mph.
and people add tattoos to their skin, and coligen to make
the wrinkles go away, and eat pills that we no not
what it will do when you reach 60 years old.

i did see a gal with a kindle on her steering wheel last
week.
but never put calcium carbonate on your lawn...or, unless
you buy it from home depot with a label...LIME

but the children will be looking for eggs on their
lawn and garden this easter, two days after tru green
has sprayed for weeds and bugs.
nice.
common sense is as dead as a rat.
