Sorry I forgot to post some recipes.Hope its not to late. Vicki- Dilly beans: 2lbs green beans,4 cloves of garlic,4 dill heads(or 1/2 teas dill weed),2t coarse salt 4 tbl sugar 4 c vinegar(I use apple cider vinegar),4 c water. Clean ends and pack length wise in sterilized jars with garlic clove & dill .Heat salt sugar vinegar and water to boiling. Pour over beans and seal.Put in hot water bath for 12 min . Best if you wait 6-8 weeks but can eat in 2 weeks with a little less pickling. Can add 1tsp of red pepper if you like hot. Toni: My poop te do tea for fertilizing:10 gal bucket,compost ,manure (not cow or grazing animals they eat grass and also eat weed seeds)chicken is the best,bat guano, humic acid and unsulfured molasses. Fill bucket with 5 gal water,1 oz molasses ,2 oz humic acid, 2lbs manure, 1 cup bat guano. Mix all together.Let set for 12 days stirring everyday. On day that its ready ,stir again very good. and apply. Keep covered cuz you dont want more gook in than whats there and also It stinks. I have a 50 gal drum that I mix mine in and use it in the garden on flowers and on the grass. It has a spout on it. Have to stir everytime you take some out. You can put an aquarium pump on it to aerate it faster if you want. (bat guano and humic acid can be found at these hydroponic (pot growers) stores. Use once a week until veggies come then carefully without getting on food q 2 weeks applying at the ground level. ! cup on each plant.Good Luck.
