A farmer on y - tube has a channel in which he says he is going off synthetic fertilizer for 2022. He said synthetic fertilize has become too expensive for his operation. His operation couldn't survive these fertilize prices. He is going to use mushroom compost to replace fertilize to raise his corn & soybeans . He said the the carbon-nitrogen ratio tested out @ 8.5 to 1 which is ideal for growing these crops. He also has just applied enough pulverized ag lime to get his pH to 6.5 on his fields. This releases phosphorus in the soil to make it more plant available. He won't reveal all his secrets. There is a secret sauce as he calls it that is applied to his fields during growing season. He won;t say what it is, but is likely a type of soil amendment that activates soil microbes to release more of the 3 major crop nutrients to growing plants. He claims he is going to no-till starting this year to reduce fuel costs and then planting cover crops this fall to make more nutrients available for the 2023 crop. He says there is much we don't know about soil biology and how to manage microbes to release nutrients already in our topsoil.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
