Comment on The Flying Cockroach

Hi Kate, Thanks for visiting and saying hello. We find our squirrel (the one and only) very entertaining :)
After growing up with the lowly cockroach in Australia's warm climate, yes, I would still be distgusted by the sight of one :) I'm glad there's finally something positive to be said about them though :)

I started doing this years ago when I first came to Florida. The soil we have here is sand. More Sand. And even more sand. Not exactly conducive to growing anything other than the weeds that Florida's virgin property is known for.
While living in an apartment, I had an 8 X 5 spot for a garden. Desperately needing to improve the sand, but not having the money for purchasing manure, I began to toss my kitchen scraps in a hole. I used the same hole for a week or two before covering it and moving on to the next one. In about a year I had some of the finest soil that little 8 X 5 plot had ever seen.

My neighbor recently told me that he did this. I'll have to try it. I hate throwing away things that can be composted.

Thank you, Kate. Yes, I am familiar with that company. They do a good catalog and I have ordered from them. Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the bait store route, too, but not a good experience. Yours in the photo look very healthy. Thanks for the reply.
