Speaking from experience, not from hear-say
Pat, everything I read from you reminds me of an old Choctaw neighbor I had many years ago. Before he passed out of this world he taught me how to grow a garden using chicken manure and marine fish/shellfish scraps, and how to kill fire ants with household vinegar and soap. His methods work so well that I use no chemicals in my yard or garden.
You speak from experience, not from hear-say. Many so-called experts speak only from book-learning, disseminating false and destructive information. My old Indian neighbor often said that while some folks grow old and wise, others just grow old.
