Interesting discussion. I had been planning on trialing a small plot of giant
sunflowers (25 x 25)to dry and sell to bird enthusiasts in the fall, maybe at
50 cents per head. Does anyone know if the sunflowers' alleopathic (sp?)
effect will continue into next season's crop rotation in that patch? If so I
will have to rethink this idea. Thanks.
