Chuck, just wanted to let you know that my heirloom tomato seeds arrived today. I appreciate your fast service and the "extras". You're alright by me! :>) I was thinking of giving the "fungus" a try. I bought bags of cow manure compost which I will be working into the soil. I will also add a few bags of sand (this is a raised bed, no sand added yet) I will be mulching this time. Should I use hay or straw? If I can't find that here I will use black plastic mulch, or the cloth fabric. My last tomato garden looked like a jungle. I promised my neighbor that the next attempt will be more esthetically pleasing. Peter, South Florida, Zone 10
