Re: Ground Pod for mushrroms and alikes...

Lovely bit of kit.
well done on the design and following though to completion.

Re: It Must Be SPRING!!!

Mike

not sure if its available in your location, you could try "Renardine", an agriculture remedy.

think it might also been known as Fox oil or Dippels oil.

main warning do not get it on any clothes or hands, You will not be let into the house.
