located on a four lane highway with a population of 75,000 within 30 miles. The property is located in a summer vacation/resort area. The land is high and wet. It can be easily drained. I intend to log the property this year. I will clearcut approximately 80% of the tract. I am exploring options for how to use the profit from the sale of the timber; pond digging, replanting of trees, field clearing and improving drainage are all possible options. My goal is to develop a "farm" based on some of the principles outlined in the book written by Doctor Booker T. Whatley, "How to Make $100,000 Farming 25 Acres". Products and services I would like to consider providing are; products such as crayfish, fire wood, sawn wood, blueberries, strawberries; value added products such as bird houses and rustic furniture; and finally services such as horse boarding, lawn care and tree trimming.

They are currently non-recycleable in our area and we would like to keep them out of the landfill. We at the Hampshire College Farm Center currently compost most of the food wastes generated on campus (1300 students) and are considering expanding our composting operation to include shredded paperboard and non-recycleable corrugated cardboard. Specific areas of interest include heavy metals or other toxics in dyes or other paperboard constituents, and their fate in finished compost (is organic immobilization a reality?). Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. --- * Origin: [via Psychotronic BBS = Durham, NC = 919-286-4542]sustag- (1:3641/1) @PATH: 3641/1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (121) Tue 6 Dec 94 7:50 By: "Carl H.

It looks a lot like hemp and has been mistaken for it but it does not have the active ingredient. If you want fiber try kenaf. carl ca1@aac.msstate.edu On Mon, 5 Dec 1994, Tracy Aquilla wrote: > In Article <257@landmark.DIALix.oz.au>, gil@landmark.DIALix.oz.au (Gil > Hardwick) wrote: > > > >In article <3bqb02$ij0@ixnews1.ix.netcom.com>, Kenneth Umbach > (KWU@ix.netcom.com) writes: > > > >>Well, the thing that has struck me here in Sacramento, California, is > >>that folks who occasionally set up a demonstration on our Capitol steps > >>on behalf of hemp do so from a 60's-era psychedelic VW van that looks as > >>though it got lost en route to a Grateful Dead concert.

I am finding a lack of background information on this crop and would like to hear from any and all that have insight on the following three questions. 1. Is there published research on the effect of lowered soil temperature on partitioning, that is, increased yield such as we see with potato? 2. Has anyone heard of improved cassava cultivars that respond positively to nutrient rich soil without going completely vegetative. 3. Are there any safe systems for the composting of human waste for use as cropping mulch? If so, how long does it take at a location with 85c daily averages year round? I appreciate your leads and ideas. Please post responses or send them directly to SAWELCH@utkvx.utk.edu Thank you, Steve Welch, Knoxville TN --- * Origin: [via Psychotronic BBS = Durham, NC = 919-286-4542]Univers (1:3641/1) @PATH: 3641/1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (132) Tue 6 Dec 94 13:24 By: Kim Vanlandingham To: All Re: Test Message ---------------------------------------------------------------------- @MSGID: 1:375/65.0 8770BF53 @TID: WILDMAIL!/WC v4.11 94-0267 This is a test! --- WILDMAIL!/WC v4.11 * Origin: WILDMAIL! v4 - Rewriting the Book on Mail Tossing!
