Harvey Lacey Has More To Say
An update from Harvey Lacey in a way only Harvey can talk. Hi Y’all, Life is pretty good for me right now. I’ve got a paying client that can afford my creativity and I’m doing stuff most people third to half my age can only dream about. I just had my annual VA physical, Agent Orange thing, and the tests come up with me being finer’n frog hair. Everyone knows you can’t get much finer’n that. Well, there is the cholesterol thing, numbers, bad ones, creeping up a bit. But we agreed that four to five range eggs a day might be the source for that. So I’m now eating six eggs a day but I give back all the yokes to the chickens, they don’t live long enough to worry about the cholesterol thing. I have.

I went to the discussion area on the column and people were jumping all over the idea like it was the worst thing possible because of soil contamination, mostly the lead poisoning that we know is a real issue. So I did a google search and found out something really interesting, we don’t have to remove fifteen inches of top soil before it is safe for use for gardening. We can add a layer of clean top soil and build from there, composting and other good stuff project also. So here’s the deal, we can build two ubuntublox high walls sectioning off plots for planting the gardens.
