@Pam: Thank you for the tip. I believe you’re right.
I’ll be moving to a new place this weekend and I’m curious about finding out the type of soil in the new garden.
I see the book is available on Amazon.com.

I was reading some of your articles and when I read this one, about your clay problem,
it remindwd me of the “Ruth Stout – No Work Garden Book”. This is an amazing book!
I have experimented with her concepts and it’s so true. If you focused on growing worms
to add to the straw, leaves, etc. you put on your soil they will work it that much faster.

This book is no longer in print. However, I do see it in second-hand shops, ebay or online
from bookstores.

Comment on Soil Moisture Sensor Circuit Explained by Thomas W.

@Braulio: I think you can use DS2762 instead as the manufacturer Maxim states, “DS2762 is an update to DS2760″.

@Don: I haven’t got much experience pruning peach trees, but maybe you can find something about it here: http://www.clemson.edu/extension/hgic/plants/vegetables/tree_fruits_nuts/hgic1355.html
Good luck!

@Janice: I found the picture here: http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/ under the Attribution License, which means I have to link back when I use his picture. Maybe you could use it the same way.

This is where I learned about the license:

You can use the compost pictures from my blog too, but it would be nice if you would mention my blog as source.

Hope you find something you can use!

Tom,
Good afternoon. I am interested to know whether you have Collin Anderson’s contact information or a couple of compost pictures I can use as outreach materials.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Janice

Comment on Looking for a Heirloom Peach Seed by Thomas W.

@Tom: Yes, and then you can pick the most healthy and robust of the 6 trees. That’s the beauty of natural selection.

I took a closer look at my peach tree and I believe you’re right – 10 cm (4 inches) above the ground it seems like the colour and texture of the wood changes. I’m surprised that the rootstock is not longer though.
