Send some rain to me . It hasn't rained here since I started setting tobacco . My crop is looking bad . Crops that were set before mine and recieved good rains are in great shape but need rain .

Chicken , Make sure those chicks don't get a hold of a tainted worm .

NOOOOOOOOOOO! As I throw myself to the ground and weep. Alright I guess a few worms getting a taste is not the end of the world. So much for the elusive perfect tobacco crop though. Hang those worms in your kiln and see how they smoke. If it works you really don't have to count it as a loss.

ive never raised chickens, so dont know how messy my suggestion is. leave the chickens in the baccy garden for n hour a day, so they clean up the worms for you. im guessing theyll make a mess too though, and if they start picking at the leaves, you get more holes, and the leaves are probably bad for them.

How long did you keep the chickens around? Did it realy work? Also what kind of matt did you put on the ground?

the chickens will eat anything thats on the ground,

and the mat is a phorous material they use in road construction, water goes right thru it, and going on year2 of using the same mat, it doesnt seem to rotted any,

I used the standard agricultural stuff and one year is it. Where would I try to get the road construction type stuff? -·-

i really dont have a clue, i dont even know what this stuff was used for,

it had been throwed in the trash pile, and after looking at it, i had a ingenious idea for it, garden matting,

i got a roll of it,, hundreds of feet on that roll.

it hasnt showed any signs of deterriation, it's the same today as it was when i aqquired it,

Thanks. That is always the best way to get stuff. I'll check around and see if I can get it and if so if it's cost effective. The stuff I used was cheap. -·-

Its the newspaper under oak leaves for me again. Its takes a lot of time and you cant do it if the winds blowin. It got to hot last spring and I didnt get all the paper down so I had more grass than I like. Hope for a cooler spring this year.
