Get out the palm pilot and do the math, Dave. $14.00 for 50# of Bloodmeal
still equals $7+ for 6% of nitrogen. I'm just thankful I can still use a
sharpened pencil and a good ledger so I know what I'm paying for, as I
wouldn't want to pay that much for a (basically) non-dollar product.

A truckload of bloodmeal around here probably wouldn't pay for the gas.

Blessings,
Ava
