I was just watching some agri videos on calcium amendment to fields. They were saying on a good field the corn roots were reaching down 4 feet because of the Calcium in the soil helped with soil structure, even after 2 inches of rain they had pictures of soil clumps still holding together in drenched conditions. They were saying basically that calcium is the shit and you really could shovel it on. here is the vid.

Ok so its for more control or if you have poor soil pretty much . Poor soil is something that I guess I am not accustomed to.

You're luck then donmekka. I would use mother earth every time I could over smarties. smarties dry out bad, in hot weather they make the dirt hott.
now i've used them for stealth operations, you can put them where no one would think pot would grow. we have alot of old mined ground around here, they work great there, if you can get water to them.
raised bed or straight into the ground for the win. whats all this gopher shit. i've had alot shit fuck with my plants but never a gopher.

I've seen gophers do a number, but that quarter-inch hardware cloth keeps them out.

So does a .22 Remington 597 with a 3 x 9 scope ;)

just reminiscing of a childhood on the homestead famers would pay us 25 cents a head

So does a good dog! See any blood on it? Not a single DROP! That dog was SUCH a good dog, and she was the best vermin hunter I have ever seen, better than any cat I've seen for sure. She caught that gopher after the cat had tried for 3 days. Ol' Missy Dawg saw Raymond trying for it, then she went and got it. Every time, perfectly clean kill.

I need another dog like Missy Dawg.

Yep... That is either a small gopher or a massive dog lol... Gophers around here are much larger :)

She was close to a C-note there, if not at it. She was dumped in the neighborhood and one of my boys convinced me to take her on. She started off a terribly misbehaved, but sweet dog. So my answer was to take her (and consequently all other dogs in the neighborhood who felt like going along) for long walks on the fire access roads in the hills where I lived. Five miles for me, but I'm sure all the dogs did at least 2-3x that. It's how I really got to know her and learned that she wasn't like the other dogs who'd maul a small animal, but not kill it. She'd always kill them, but never maul. She was about the best dog I ever had, I'd say.

If you're in SoCal, it's the area near the Buddhist temple and monastery right by the Heights.

Awe that's a sweet dog, you did the right thing Sea, My dogs always get crazy if they aren't walked they get at least 30 minutes a day, that's in the winter, but summer its 45 and a weekly visit to the conservation area. Basically the woods. Havent been in Socal in a while and I don't know my way around, sounds nice... I love to have a Buddhist temple near by but all we have is a Mosque :(

Damn sea is that a yellow lab ? She looks massive!

Seamaiden · Feb 2, 2015

The vet said she was a "lab mix." I took that to mean "laboratory." She was as much some kinda terrier as Lab in there. She had the otter tail, totally Lab. But her face reminded me of Kilroy. They're not ears, they're WINGS! And yeah, she was a big girl, even with all the exercise and all. She was thin in that picture! When she was dumped, she was so fat she looked like a baby harp seal. I thought her tail had been docked, she kept it tucked so tight under her.

We are seriously digressing, unless someone's getting themselves a greenhouse dawg. :D
