I need a tee shirt that says "Feed the Pile". I think that is basically all I am doing.
Funny story for you. Every year a group of us get together in the fall for a party. It's after the harvest and hunting season for a big cookout. About 5 years ago it was my turn to host it. It was kind of a pot luck, some people came with their BBQ, some with salad, beans and whatever. There was 3 of us that had those big outdoor turkey deep fryer things. In mine I made french fries. Someone else deep-fried a wild turkey and another was walleye and pike.

To make a long story short we were all half cut and no one wanted to bother waiting for the cooking oil to cool down and pour it back into the containers. So I said let's just dump it in the garden. Well, several gallons of cooking oil dumped at the side of my garden lol. It took years for that to recover. Each year when I would till it the soil in that spot was almost like a cross between playdough and connetic sand lol.

No real point to my story but lesson learned, even though I consider cooking oil to be organic I would never do that again.

Here you go pepper.... this works.
It wouldn't let me read the story without some app so I googled it and found some info on it. If it's the same story it said she put the fish on-top of lime then more lime on-top to mask the smell from animals. Wouldn't that much lime burn the roots?

I don't know. If I did plant some fish with the tomatoes I think I would scatter around some thorn bush clippings around the plants instead of using lime.

The lime was used to cover the smell. It could affect ph depending on how deep it was used. When I used fish, I didn't use the lime with it.

The day I planted my cannabis plants one of them I tossed in some crushed up egg shells rather then adding them to the compost. I know the plant will be grown and gone before they break down but I figured it can't hurt. That night a skunk (I assume) dug up that plant. Not completely but it did a number on the roots. I have to believe it smelled the egg shells because it didn't touch the other 3 plants.

Last year I got over 15 racoons in my live trap and that didn't even put a dent in them, more would keep coming. But there is no way in hell I am going to live trap a skunk. I did one year by accident, never ever again.. I still have nightmares about that 😂

Reminds me of my younger days. I found I was Bullet proof.

One time Boss left me and another guy painting a house. Wonder if there is a Bar around?

We found a Liquor Store bought some Beer. Was driving in another town. Who do we run into but the Boss. Think fast.

We have been looking all over for you.

One time I was upset called the Law up. They sent a Deputy. Take me and lock me up. Deputy we have no room. I'm still drinking. Hit the Deputy up side the head.

He says dang it I told you we an't got no room. So I'm setting on hood of Cop Car drinking.

Bit later I pass out he carry me to the house puts me to bed.

One time my wife thought she would be smart and take my money. Got enough for a Bottle of Everclear,got some Coke and glasses.

Come home more messed up than ever.

Fish Fertilizer seems to be good. Just mix two tablespoons per gallon of water.

not all that long ago I was making shine. Went to a bar to hang out with some buddies. Things got a bit heated with some 8 ball games and cops got called. They dumped out my shine when they patted me down... I can only guess they had no idea what it was since its illegal here. The night was spent in the tank. The Brad Paisley song you posted reminds me of that adventure lol, or what little of it I remember. Since then I stopped making the shine.. hats off to Popcorn Sutton RIP.

I think you and I would have had some fun together back in our prime days @big rockpile

Whiskey and SKAOL messed my throat up.

Just learned about drinking Whiskey clean and found it very good but now I can no longer have it. 🥲

Oh I was a funny drunk always had fun.

Yelp Popcorn was one of a kind.
