It's just a little coffee shop on our little town too. <br />It is a soil conditioner and acidified. So I've spread a thin layer on all the beds and I'm putting a really thick six inch layer around my blueberries for the acid. I think strawberries are acid lovers too. I need to find out for sure and if they are, they're next!!<br />ErinErinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03394245146898073227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139208628011657611.post-16263678126754609842011-11-12T02:10:22.528-08:002011-11-12T02:10:22.528-08:00Hello Erin,

How long does it take the coffee shop near you to fill up a 5 gallon bucket?<br /><br />Was it much better than other types of fertilizer?<br /><br />Cheers,<br />GeoffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139208628011657611.post-86842559667168749252011-10-30T16:59:15.720-07:002011-10-30T16:59:15.720-07:00I love your blog Becky.

My four blueberry bushes performed well this year, but the berries were rather small. I'll be interested in your report about your blueberries next year!Tatyana@MySecretGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15230255354868127650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139208628011657611.post-69611761806659493442011-10-30T04:11:04.768-07:002011-10-30T04:11:04.768-07:00We were lucky this time.

I've missed seeing those stars all summer. Thanks for the link! It's great to have a fan!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954826148369517031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139208628011657611.post-86174610443511015892011-10-29T23:36:00.340-07:002011-10-29T23:36:00.340-07:00Good one Mark!!

They just fill up the five gallon pale and I take it and return the bucket. They have given me about 8-10 so far. Brilliant!<br />I'll check that out GWGT.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03394245146898073227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139208628011657611.post-12517223150937499562011-10-29T16:46:51.714-07:002011-10-29T16:46:51.714-07:00No snow here today in the land of snow, for once. ...No snow here today in the land of snow, for once.
