i learned something very valuable about myself in the
last 2 days....i am a jackass.

i took advantage of the open forum provided on this site
and resentfully opened my trap and let some built up
emotions come out in language that should stay on
the construction site and off bp.com.

i let my emotions get the better of me as they tend to
do from time to time. after inserting both of my
feet into my big mouth, i made some room for some
humble pie. live and learn. humility is the lesson
to be learned.

my apologies to the bp community.

on a warmer note, i have some 48' soil heating cables
coming along with some cheleated calcium. hopefully the
ground thaws completely soon and dries up enough to get a tiller to mix in the 4" of mushroom compost that has been
curing all winter, and leaching excess salts.
for my early plant, i am going to hand turn over a 10'x 10'
area where the planting spot will be, break it up nicely,
and get the soil heating cables in to start the
soil activity. and the 6'x10' greenhouse will go up
at the same time. gonna do some test experiments with one,
two, and three space heaters to see what the optimum
amount of heaters are needed depending on the low and high
temps in the next 4 weeks.

the rest of the patch will be tilled asap and a soil
sample will be sent in for some late adjustments
needed like ph or npk and mag ratios.
