Allan and Woody, I didn't express myself well in the previous post. I have used BD compost for many years, and BC and 500 sprayed every year on the vegetable garden. I have always used compost, BC and 500, but only used 501 once last year in a small area (This is such an arid place especially during ripening time.) and 508 a couple of times when I had a situation that needed it. What I was concerned about is that I haven't sequentially sprayed 501 and 508 along with BC and 500 over our whole garden, orchard and woodland. I only used 501 in a small area and 508 on a particular problem, not even over the whole garden. (I am real excited that I will have lots of BC and 500 in the 2003 season to spray all over our land and on the road right-of-way and to give to friends to get them started.)
Our hill is covered with 3 feet of snow. Our homestead is fenced with a NZ game fence around 3 1/2 acres with 21 1/2 acres of woodland outside that fence. I conceive of doing the Three Kings Prep ritual by donning snowshoes and orienteering through woods around the whole 25 acres of woodland to protect our whole place. Isn't that what we are doing--calling for protection for our whole place? My question was if I have only sprayed 501 and 508 a little and put BD compost only on my veggie and flower beds and a little in the orchard, is that enough? How can I spray BD preps in 3 feet of snow now?
