Homestead mailing list

[Rob <becida AT comcast.net>]

NOTE: This is an old post consisting of mostly URL's that I have not 
checked. Might be a waste of time but it might not too.
This looks to be the 24th "old Tvo" post I've sent to the list. 
<Shrug>, FWIW....

Merry Christmas everyone!

Rob

(its long,  but read it!  Your homemade electrolytes aren't as good as
commercial varieties---sorry about that.  Making your own may save on
electrolyte, but a dead calf will buy a lot of electrolyte.  Don't see
it mentioned, but I think adding soluble kelp is a good thing---get it
from "Natural Solutions", New Castle, VA---use your browser, they're on
the Web somewhere.
