Jay: That does present a clearer picture, and yes probably a great time for nailing the mosquito. You also have good point on the dandelion, the closer you mow the flater he can grow. I really don't know of any farmers that will be out looking for you. I just tend to get a bit upset when I see someone make a statment that might get construed by envoirmentalists as excessive. I used to tell my neighbor with roundup treated field turning brown, get it plowed under. He would say roundup is the most envoirmental friendly chemical herbacide we've ever used. I said yes you and I know that but do all those folks driving by know that. The public love to hate chemicals, we have to be careful not to give them anymore amunition than what they already dream up. I used to grow some root vegetables, and some of the most dangerous chemicals I ever dealt with were granular handled by dry applicators. A guy about a mile away always made rude comments to me in public every time he saw my sprayer in the field, yet I think I could have loaned the boxes off my dry applicator to him for seats at his family barbecue. He stopped me once to complain, my spray mix was irritating him. I said, " that is funny I'm only spraying 5 lbs of epsom salts in 100 gallons of water." Epsom salts will make tomatoes, green and yellow beans ripen faster. I truly wish I could have sprayed enough epsom salts on him to turn his verbal diarrhea to the other type. I perhaps get a bit more worked up on these issues than I should. However my home was in Nova Scotia and there we had the largest crop loss in North American history, That is roadside value of the crop. The pest was the spruce budworm. Envoirmentalists said no to chemicals and a lame duck government gave in. The loss, 40 years employment for 25,000 people. We must be very careful not to give people wrong impressions.

Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
