Asbestos roofing- but it looks like tin?
Hello all-
BF and I are buying a house that was built in 1933. It looks to us, and to a contractor friend, like it has a tin roof, painted with a reflective sealant. However, the city assessment lists the roof type as "asbestos." I have heard of corrugated asbestos roofing, and I have heard of asbestos cement shingle roofing, but I can't find any reference to an asbestos roof that looks (and sounds, with a good tap) like a tin roof. Has anybody run into this before? Is it likely to be asbestos shingle underneath the tin? We want to add dormers to the upstairs, so knowing what we we're going to be cutting into before we buy the house would be good for peace of mind. I was inclined to dismiss it as a clerical error at first (there is some minimal asbestos siding on a porch addition- maybe they put it in the wrong box), but I'd rather be sure!
city assessments are often incorrect.
There could be more roofing under the tin roof. This happens a lot of the time. In fact, we just installed a new steel roof and it was placed over the older asphalt roof.

: The Karnataka State Rifle Association, on Saturday, honoured P.N. Prakash for his bronze medal at the ISSF World Cup in Changwon last week.
Speaking at the Sports Authority of India's shooting range here, the 37-year-old hoped his exploits in the 10m air pistol would herald a period of success for the State in the sport.
"We have always wished that Karnataka's shooters should be a threat at the National level," he said.
"I promise to return with more medals hereafter."
KSRA Secretary Rajesh Jagdale said, "This should be a game-changer for the sport here. It shows that people from Karnataka can challenge on the world stage. It will encourage many young shooters here."
Thanking the KSRA and the Jagdale Group for supporting him, Prakash revealed that the pain in his right wrist, which had forced an eighth-place finish in the final of the 50m free pistol, had been so extreme that he had considered withdrawing from the 10m final.
"It was severe. But then I thought I had to hold on no matter what. For a few minutes, my focus was on the pain. Afterwards, it was just on my technique."
The KSRA presented Prakash with a shawl and a sum of Rs.10,000.

How to put Microbes back into soil
I am going Organic and would like to know how to put Microbes back into my soil.
I am also looking at different brewers: I have looked at Vortex Brewer and Keeping it Sample Brewer and they are the 5 gallon ones, and would like to know if anyone has used ether one, and what you think of them?
Since my soil is dead from using chemical fertilizers something needs to be done with it.
I have started last Fall by putting leaf compost on it and spading it in and than I worked it up a week ago and put Organic Fertilizer on, yes a soil test in being done also.
Has any one used Sea Crop on there garden?
Worm Tea or Worm Castings? I am putting three worm beds in by basement with composting worms in them.
Also do you know of some every good books to read on building your soil naturally? I could use all the help I can get.
Where is the best place to get a TOTAL COMPLETE SOIL TEST? I have hear that it will cost around $70.00. Which is the best the Morgan Test or the Reams Test?
First and foremost, DON'T go wasting your money on all these miracle products, they are unnecessary! Your soil is not "dead" from the synthetic fertilizers, it is just damaged.. Don't go buying into all these products, your getting fooled out of your wallet!
The best thing to add to your soil:
-Compost(make yourself,etc)
-plant matter(cover crops/green manures)
-mulch(again plant matter, leaves,etc)
-get a carbon water filter and filter the chlorine
-compost tea(make yourself, simple 5 gallon bucket($3), a water pump($10) and some compost(free?, but is really priceless!) simple as that..
- did I say compost? Compost,Compost,compost
I would just keep adding compost, planting cover crops/green manures, an continue mulching.. That's the best way for your soil, as well as your wallet! Please don't get foole an buy all these products, it's unneccesary!
Contact our local Agriculture extension for the soil test,etc...
Good luck,
This is one of my favorite gardening movies! Watch it, you'll gain great insight!
Here is a link that might be useful: Sustainable Organic Gardening
I agree with Joe. In Florida a complete soil test is only 7 bucks. The hort agent will explain the results to you for free. They were hard to understand. Kitchen scraps help, too and weeds that haven't gone to seed. Worm castings are excellent! I repotted my 4 inch tomatoes into 1 gallon pots with just a small amount of worm castings. They are growing like crazy.
Your soil is almost certainly not dead by using chemical fertilizers...the only thing that will usually kill (or rather, lessen effectiveness) a healthy microbe population is not enough organic matter in your soil (less than 2%), a very low pH, or high salinity.
That said, a compost/worm/kelp/manure/etc tea can replenish microbe populations as long as there's some OM for it to feast on.
Microbes, as far as plants go, really only help break down immobilized nutrients into mineralized nutrients. It's an important role, but it's not the most important thing going on in your soil. They can help play a role in improved structure via this action, but unless you have 5%-ish OM in there for the microbes to go to work on, there's going to be little structural benefit from the microbes.
Joe The Garden of Eden was very interesting and it gave me some very good information that I can do even if I already planted my onions.
I can go get a pick-up of compost and put it on my 15' X 15' garden and than when I plant the rest of my garden go get a load of wood much and put on it.
How deep should I go with the compost and much?
How about putting some Sea Crop on it also?
Good ol' Back To Eden...because waiting years for wood chips to break down underground rather than speeding it up 1/2 or less time in a separate pile then adding it is too simple to pass up.
Somehow removing your top soil and digging a hole in the ground to add wood chips is good, but tilling is the worst thing ever...somehow.
Touring his many many many years old and already broken down components garden vs most people's "BTE" gardens is a night/day experience. He's already had a chance to overcome his years of suppressed/non-ideal growing period. He seems to not want to bring this up to people, though.
Even if the level of organic matter in your soil is below 1 percent there will be some soil biology working there and increasing the level of organic matter is what is necessary to increase the soil biology, Spending your money on stuff that is supposed to increase the microbes in your soil without providing a habitat hey can live in is a waste of your money, time, and energy.
Wood chips, ala the Back to Eden video, will, eventually, get the level of soil organic matter and the soil microbes up to par but that can take several years. Increase the amount of organic matter in your soil and the soil microbes, the Soil Food Web, will grow and prosper as will your plants growing in that soil.
Perhaps these simple soil tests will be of some help,
1) Soil test for organic matter. From that soil sample put enough of the rest to make a 4 inch level in a clear 1 quart jar, with a tight fitting lid. Fill that jar with water and replace the lid, tightly. Shake the jar vigorously and then let it stand for 24 hours. Your soil will settle out according to soil particle size and weight. For example, a good loam will have about 1-3/4 inch (about 45%) of sand on the bottom. about 1 inch (about 25%) of silt next, about 1 inch (25%) of clay above that, and about 1/4 inch (about 5%) of organic matter on the top.
2) Drainage. Dig a hole 1 foot square and 1 foot deep and fill that with water. After that water drains away refill the hole with more water and time how long it takes that to drain away. Anything less than 2 hours and your soil drains' too quickly and needs more organic matter to slow that drainage down. Anything over 6 hours and the soil drains too slowly and needs lots of organic matter to speed it up.
3) Tilth. Take a handful of your slightly damp soil and squeeze it tightly. When the pressure is released the soil should hold together in that clump, but when poked with a finger that clump should fall apart.
4) Smell. What does your soil smell like? A pleasant, rich earthy odor? Putrid, offensive, repugnant odor? The more organic matter in your soil the more active the soil bacteria will be and the nicer your soil will smell.
5) Life. How many earthworms per shovel full were there? 5 or more indicates a pretty healthy soil. Fewer than 5, according to the Natural Resources Conservation Service, indicates a soil that is not healthy.
and perhaps the link to this Soil Biology Primer will be of some use.

Sounds good.. You really can't have to much compost, then a layer of mulch(leaves,compost,woodchips,whatever..)
As mentioned, I would make a compost pile so you will have compost sooner.. However, I would still lay down mulch, as Kismer stated, you need a habitat for the life in the soil, mulch is a good start..
Somehow removing your top soil and digging a hole in the ground to add wood chips is good, but tilling is the worst thing ever...somehow"
Where do you get this from? I understand I am no fond of tilling, but digging holes and adding wood chips, what?

I bet you wish your garden like his, huh? How many years you been gardening in your same lot NC? You have to thin root crops to get good yields, right? This man doesn't thin anything, he has huge beats pushing eachother away with his fertile soil.. He doesn't even water or fertilize, It's amazing.. It doesn't take ice ages like you say.. You don't have to do exactly what he does.. Do the best of both worlds.. Make a compost pile, speed up the process, grow cover crops, etc.. It dont take as long as you think...
I would do the best of all worlds... Make a huge compost pile and speedup the process ten fold.. At the same time, lay down mulch and make a nic habitat for life in the soil.. Grow green manure/cover crops.. Add that back to your soil... Get any free local resources you could, keep an eye out for free conpost from the city, manure from a farmer,etc... Get a quality soil test and get an idea where you stand... There's no right and wrong way... It's best to implement everyones great ideas and have the best of all worlds.. Do what you think you should.. Your intuition is the best key...
Best of luck gardening,
"I bet you wish your garden like his, huh? How many years you been gardening in your same lot NC? You have to thin root crops to get good yields, right? This man doesn't thin anything, he has huge beats pushing eachother away with his fertile soil.. "
I'm sorry you're butt hurt...and that you assume his garden is better than mine...for some reason...other than you want so badly for it to be true.
So, to defend myself...and my advice...which seems to be untrue, unfounded, and useless to you...
*clears throat*
I don't need my garden like his because my soil and garden production is near ideal for the things I grow. I harvest heavy and often with minimal inputs. I carry a drifting 6.5-7.0 pH, 5-6% OM, loamy clay production area that kicks ass. I mulch with 3" of straw and my water/nutrient use is a lot less than many others in my area.
If I started a garden here in my area like he suggests I would have 3+ years waiting for most wood chips to break down into soil. FACT. I've seen it in other people's gardens and besides it's predictable and known behavior of wood breakdown in our local soils. If you go 200 miles south, it takes about 2 years...if you go about 120-150 miles East it can be done in about a year because of high moisture/sandy-loam conditions. None of this ever enters into your suggestions...everywhere on this planet is the same conditions and nature will "make it awesome" in a matter of months...no problem...it's all good.
This isn't a good amendment route in my area...or many areas...unless you have years to wait for this amendment to actually happen. Even then most woods contain ALMOST NO available N content except the very small amount found in woods like yellow birch, pin cherry, and beech...and we're talking about 1-2% N content even in those cases.
Speaking of...you can't even differentiate between wood chip sources. It's all the same to you based on your many "help" threads on this subject. At least I can tell you how long a yellow birch wood chip source will take to break down vs a pine wood source. Watch out, this involves science, something you're not a fan of. Cellulose and lignin content have predictable and known breakdown variables depending on environmental conditions (heat/moisture/oxygen). I know, you're plugging your ears and eyes up trying not to learn some lamestream media, Illuminati, science tested brain-washed information...but try to press on with the lesson. Heck, let's cut to the chase...yellow birch breaks down about 2.5x faster.
Your mistrust or total dismissing of known science is occasionally dangerous to others...we're not even talking about controversial subjects here.
You can't just go treating every soil and every environment on this planet as if we're all in the same area, but that won't keep you from handing out your "I'm just trying to help"/"good intentions" advice and calling out others when it's questioned...even to the point of insisting someone else's garden is better than my garden...which you know nothing about...except you really want it to be worse so you can prove some kind of point to yourself.
Lame move calling out a garden you know nothing about in order to try to prove yourself right, guy.
This post was edited by nc-crn on Wed, Apr 17, 13 at 1:32
we're not even talking about controversial subjects her"
You sure make it out to be that way.. You seem to have the same misunderstanding about me, as I do about your garden.. You have no clue what I'm even about, but your guessing from my previous posts in other threads that I am against everything "modern" "science" "government" .. As you said there is no controversy here, well of course there always is.. Quite wasting your time chattering to me, help the original poster out... Spend your time positively, there's no reason to becker about little trivial nonsense... Your garden is much better than His garden, and mine put together, is that better? Don't waste your time typing me a lengthy response, help someone that has a question, like the original poster.
Happy gardening,
There is no "misunderstanding"...
This isn't the first thread you've been in...and it's not the first time you've given off-the-cuff advice while dismissing other's counter-points to your advice...especially if they back it up with science. Your talk in other threads about how people "over think" stuff and how we should "look to nature" are 2 incorrect assumptions in that 1- you can't over think stuff that can be (and has been) studied and 2- NATURE IS GIVING US THESE ANSWERS.
What you don't get is I'm trying to help the original poster. Hell, I've already chimed in on the subject independent of you...but when I dared question BTE as a solution, then things got all weird.
Adding wood chips to "make soil" will do nothing for him/her unless they have years to wait. You, for some reason, believe this is false even though there's reams of science that says otherwise...heck, there's plenty of "real world" that says otherwise, too. There is no immediate remediation via this process...and there's a lot of ways to do it quicker. Your glorified/worshiped advanced mulching technique isn't as quickly turned into soil as you think for most of the US (or the world). You treat so many issues as if the whole world lives in your front and back yard...and you're not very open to anyone telling you that things aren't the same as your front and back yard.
Also, the nitrogen content of various woods is KNOWN...the breakdown of wood in various environmental conditions is KNOWN...your hunches and good intentions cannot conquer nature.
Boy oh boy oh boy.. Go argue with Paul, the one who inventing the BTE method. I could tell you were mad i even advised him to watch the video..I am advising him to compost to speed up the process,etc.. As I said take the best of all worlds and do what you feels best. Glorified worship, what? Im sorry if you're having a bad day or I upset you telling you someone has a better garden then you.. I have to watch what I say, these gardenweb gardeners are going to off me. There's much more to life than science and your intelligence, get off your high horse and let loose, have some fun! I can
feel the tension just from your posts, guy. I'm sorry, I'll make sure I don't give anyone anymore advice, hopefully now you can sleep sound?
Yes, one can tell by the counter-arguments based on known science that I'm sharing as well as the further explanation of wood sources and their N availability that my rage cannot be contained.
You telling me that my garden can't be as good as some other dude's (which you repeated once again in your last rant while knowing nothing about my garden) and that I'm mad+tense are great counter-argument to my points that will help many people.
This is not the first "raw vs the world" post on GW where points brought up are met with baseless comparisons and outright dismissal of known issues with something you champion.
This post was edited by nc-crn on Wed, Apr 17, 13 at 3:06
I have read your post and found it as a misunderstanding between both of you.
Yes since tells allot and doing tells allot.
I have found that what works for one person may not work for the other person.
So I am going to try Joe's method and see what takes place, it cannot hurt any thing the only thing it can do is improve my soil.
Seeing the improvement that Joe has is very amazing. I am sure that it did not happen over night, like everything else it takes time and by adding compost , leaf compost and wood chips will do allot to my soil. Like I have ask do you feel 4 inches of each is to much?
"So I am going to try Joe's method and see what takes place, it cannot hurt any thing the only thing it can do is improve my soil."
My point is that it isn't harmful...in the long term...and will do little to nothing harmful in the short term...but in the short term it will also do little to nothing beneficial except for the mulching benefits on water use and soil retention of added water/nutrients (which is true of any properly applied mulch).
All along all I've been saying is it's nice if you have the time to burn waiting for it to become part of your soil structure. Once it breaks down (years for most areas) it will take even longer for it to move down in your soil profile past the first couple of inches. It doesn't just sit there on top while it's breaking down, either...some chips will infiltrate the first couple inches of your soil unless you have some very large grained sandy soil which can physically impede it's movement. In "heaving clays" it can move well more than a few inches before it's broken down and well incorporate it in the soil, slowing it's breakdown even longer.
The BTE dude has had MANY years to build up all of his soil with his method, plus he dumps a lot of fish emulsion on his crops to get his results. Nature doesn't chop up trees and apply them in 3-5" layers every year...BTE dude's method of "do like nature does" is just a man-provided, slow-composting mulch method that can be quickly sped up in a separate pile using ideal wood sources and a mixture of healthy composting additions.
It's not BTE that I have a problem with as much as it being advertised by some as a quick solution to garden issues. Unless that issue is structure, and you have time to burn...it's not much of a solution to immediate issues. Even if you use a BTE method, the type of wood you source for your mulch is going to play a role in the time it takes for the mulch to break down and become soil....and even then it's going to take time for roots/worms/water/etc to move that OM down into deeper soil profiles. Compost (or already composted wood chips) is much faster if time to remediate is an issue...and generally of greater nutrient content since it has a variety of source material.
Aside from that, it won't do much for microbial action in the soil...except the microbes sitting on the soil surface trying to break down wood chips...until it's composted to a size that can move deeper into the soil profile.
Also as an aside, the BTE guy dumps a lot of fish emulsion into his garden and could probably apply less if he had a greater clay portion in his extremely fluffy soil to actually hold more of the nutrients he's adding to it. While OM provides a a variety nutrients on it's own while it's breaking down in it's smaller state, it's not known for good nutrient holding capability once it's broken down.
It has a place...but it's place and concerns are ease of use + time in order to build OM in the soil + micronutrient and small amounts of P/K. Depending on the wood source you may not be adding much N and at best you're looking at 1-2% of content added. There's a lot of wood sources that have N content so small it's not even reported as part of it's makeup (less than 0.5%).
There's a lot of known things about source materials that can help people out. Heck, while yellow birch is a near ideal wood for quick breakdown thanks to it's low lignin and cellulose content, it's leaves are the opposite thanks to their high lignin and cellulose content. If one assumes that because the wood breaks down fast, the leaves must also break down fast...it's just not the case. Using this known and proven knowledge you can build a profile for potential uses that nature provides us in order to properly use these resources in a manner that best fits man's timetable.
So I am going to try Joe's method and see what takes place, it cannot hurt any thing the only thing it can do is improve my soil."
Let's get this straight, back to Eden is not my method,it is Paul G, the man in the video.. In fact, I don't even put wood chips on my garden! I use leaves and winter rye straw(cover crop).. I was simply advising you to watch the video to get insight and ideas.. I actually brings half a foot of compost in for my garden, I don't wait for nature to do it.. But I do mulch heavily, and I believe that was the whole key to the back to Eden method.. I compost lots of stuff and I make humus in monthes, not years.. I also apply compost tea(concentrates microorganisms) to break down the mulch quicker.. I only have a thousand or so square feet of garden, Paul has acres... It's a much different story...
Four inches of each should be ok.. I would personally do 5-6 inches compost, 2-3 inches mulch.. I bring in lots of compost for my garden.. the key is to have a healthy soil foodweb.. There are more than a few ways to obtain healthy soil.. Compost, and mulch is what I do.. I would not call it "Joes method" who am I? I only been gardening some years.. Compost and mulch been used since the dawn of nature...
My next question is , if I already planted two rows on onions would you still put 5 or 6 inches of compost on the rest of the garden or would you put it over the onions also?
Than put much on top of that?
Has any one used Sea Crop on there garden? SEA-CROP® produced by Ambrosia Technology LLC
I would like to have the best garden I have ever had this year. Yes I do know it all takes time to have a garden like Joe and Paul has. But it can take place in the starting stages. Right.?
My next question is , if I already planted two rows on onions would you still put 5 or 6 inches of compost on the rest of the garden or would you put it over the onions also?"
Just over the bare garden, you could mulch the onions with compost but keep it away from the base of the plants stem, it could lead to rot,etc.. If you pile up compost/mulch around any plants stem, it will eventually lead to rot.. Just throw some compost down, plant your plants, and mulch.. Keep the mulch a inch or away from the stems, it can lead to problems..
""Has any one used Sea Crop on there garden? SEA-CROP® produced by Ambrosia Technology LLC""
Haven't used it but it seems pretty good, and expensive! It reminds me of azomite... They are great products, but you dont neccesarily need them.. Personally I would rather pick up another yard or two of high quality topsoil/compost then pay for a gallon of concentrated seawater.. Catch your own fish, make fish emulsion/compost.. Hard woodash(campfire) has some trace minerals and other elements in it, just use a very small amount, it has a liming effect.. Use that money to buy cover crops,etc.. Don't be fooled out your money, there are plenty of cheap,superior ways to improve your garden.
"I would like to have the best garden I have ever had this year. Yes I do know it all takes time to have a garden like Joe and Paul has. But it can take place in the starting stages. Right.?"
You never seen my garden, how do you know if it's good or bad? NC garden is probably better then mine, seriously..
Acorn, if there was few things I would do to improve your soil it would be;
-quality compost
-never keep your soil bare
-grow a green manure/cover crop
-use rainwater, or get a chlorine filter
-research research research
Remember the soil is what grows your plant, Grow your soil not the plant. The base of your gardening success starts at the soil., It takes time but if you apply enough compost initially, you will have good results, and it will continue to improve year after year after year..
Best of luck,
I am getting too old to be turning compost piles.
I am trying to find a way to let nature do most of this work for me.
So I do compost my woods chips by spraying honey water in layers as I pile them up.
Then I do not need to turn them or dig a hole to bury them.
In around 4-6 months they are good enough for mulch.
After a year of serving as mulch, they are good enough to work into the soil.
The softer materials I just spray a little honey water on it and work it directly into the soil.
Direct composting is pretty fast that way and I get broader bio-activity.
From everything I have read, a compost pile tends to be mostly bacterial,
with just a few thermophilic fungus.
Direct composting the soft stuff encourages the saprophytic phase of all
my mycorrhizal fungus.
It also encourages a broader range of life in my soil so it stays aerated.
I am doing less work.
And my soil has more life.
When I used to compost everything, by the time I worked the material into the
soil, there was not much left for the other life forms.
And I grow a lot of things that encourage a broad range and high numbers of microbes,
such as leek, sorghum, barley, etc.

You hit the nail on the head my friend! Although there is ways to Have a dominant fungus population in compost(not heating/turning), most compost are higher in bacteria.. Mulch is one of the things that really wake up the life in the soil..
"Nature doesn't chop up trees and apply them in 3-5" layers every year"
Thanks, NC! I have meant to point that out so many times and gotten distracted by trying to correct other misunderstandings. This persistent idea that sticking strictly with organic mulches is imitating nature is of course quite inane. The primary misunderstanding is that nature does not intentionally concentrate food-production suitable for human consumption into some little area, or if she does it's a great rarity, like a trout run, or a piece of bottomland in berry season, that sort of thing. Even so, it's seasonally brief whereas we gardeners are attempting to have crops available most of the year.
In that millennial effort, we have created a marvelous host of human-manipulated plants and many proven and sustainable techniques for creating artificial conditions to stimulate the growth of those particular crops. There is nothing "natural" about it. It is distinctly human, just as is building a machine called a wood-chipper and making big piles of chips to be given away free, or maintaining hay-fields and making hay with big machines so that one can buy a bale for a few dollars to use as mulch.
"Nature doesn't chop up trees and apply them in 3-5" layers every year"
No but she does drop hundreds if thousands if dead, decaying trees everyyear.. She also drops tons of leaves everyyear.. Leaves is what I personally prefer, it's what nature uses after all.. To say it is stupid to imitate natures mulch, is ridiculous, it's beyond me.. Go use some inert mulch that does very little for the soil, and tell me that using organic mulch is insane? I think we already covered one thing, it is inane to wait years for nature to work her course, it would be greatly beneficial to speed up that process.. I think we could all agree that having a complete purists "caveman" theory of plant production is not going to get us to far as well..
The primary misunderstanding is that nature does not intentionally concentrate food-production suitable for human consumption into some little area"
No, she concentrates plant/life production into the whole world, in every city, every continent. You could say the earth is small, thinking about the whole of creation, that's another discussion... Nature does concentrate food production across the majority of all land.. I would say that half the plants you see around you are edible.. But, as we all know, we are doing somewhat of a different thing, we are trying to get the most food out of a very very small space, i think that is your main point.. Your correct is it completely unnatural.. Well so it growing figs in Ohio, we still do it, unnatural circumstances call for unnatural measures.. Gardeners hav so much success, and have the ability to garden year round, because they concentrated nature, and created a very strong ecosystem.. We are taking what would take years, even decades in nature and condensing it in monthes.. It might not be so pure and natural, but who said anything is wrong with that, i sure didn't.
"But, as we all know, we are doing somewhat of a different thing, we are trying to get the most food out of a very very small space, i think that is your main point.. Your correct is it completely unnatural.. "
Why all the preliminary disagreeing if in the end you agree with my point?
Regarding the "natural" mulch:
Neither leaves and dead branches and so on that fall in a forest over years and decades are comparable to chipping live trees and shrubs with giant machines and then laying down the chips in large amounts all at once. That is the kind of un-natural 'concentration' that I am talking about. Combine doing that for a number of years combined with more concentrations of energy like adding fish emulsion or seaweed emulsion and you have a situation no different form other types of intensive gardening.
So we aren't claiming that the "Back to Eden" method featured in the video you referenced (and which has been storming around the internet for quite a while) is inferior (or superior) to other intensive non-chem methods, we are simply pointing out that the persistent claim that the method is a breakthrough of some sort, some discovery of nature's laws, is hyperbole.
"From everything I have read, a compost pile tends to be mostly bacterial, with just a few thermophilic fungus."
It depends on your source material and the pH ranges that are breaking it down until it hits a more neutral stage.
Generally, you'll find more fungal activity in a lower pH source material and more bacterial activity in a higher pH source material. It's not a huge swing to an extreme, though. Both are acting on the compost. It's not an either/or unless the pH is at extremes, like 8.5+ or below 5.5 (which is highly unlikely given good source materials).
Also, thermophilic fungi are not the only players in a compost pile...the high-heat surviving fungi rarely get a chance to set up a huge population unless you don't turn your pile. There's a lot of non-center rot going on.
You will rarely see huge strings of visible fungal growth because you're constantly turning/disturbing the pile, but it's still there doing it's thing.

There was not any disagreement.. Nc was saying something smart about the back to Eden method, and I said something smart to him, that's what starting the agrument..

Who said it was? I dont understand why you guys are looking at me - I simply was advising someone to watch the ideo to give insight.. To close the case I don't even use wood chips! I don't even use wod chips, get a laugh out that one! I use what the rest of nature does, leaves.

I am in no way affiliate with Paul or back to Eden.. It does not offend me.. I don't even do the back to Eden method.. I like his point of views, and I will defend some of his thoughts, buts that about as far as that goes.. Who said it was backthrough?? I never heard anyone saying that.. Nature been mulching for eons.
"Combine doing that for a number of years combined with more concentrations of energy like adding fish emulsion or seaweed emulsion and you have a situation no different form other types of intensive gardening"
This is exactly where I'm coming from! Us "gardeners" are all doing the same thing growing plants.. We want compost, rich soil, and maximum production, simply put, we want a healthy garden. Wether you till your soil and amend that year after year to get a healthy garden.. Whether you never till your garden and wait years for nature to take place. Whether you bring in thousands of pounds on compost and speed up the natural process by decades.. We are all doing the same thing in the long run, trying to get a healthy garden.. There are hundreds of ways to have a truly healthy garden.. We could debate for decades and there would still be people gardening hundreds of different ways... We could debate about what's best and most productive, less polluting,etc,etc,etc, in the end there are still hundreds of ways! Everyone on of them ways will lead to a healthy garden.. If you step back, you will realize, even though we stand apart, we are really all on the same boat... We are all striving for a healthy garden, we all could use a different method to get there.. We all our on the same exact boat in the long run, we really all strive for the same thing..
You will rarely see huge strings of visible fungal growth because you're constantly turning/disturbing the pile, but it's still there doing it's thing."
Are you sure the fungus/mycelium is really still there doing "it's thing"? I grow mushrooms and I'll tell you, if I turned my spawn(mycelium) I would literally ruin/kill the whole batch.. I understand it's a different environment, but mycelium is very delicate.. I have multiple compost piles, one I never turn, just so I can make sure I have variation...
Yes, I'm sure.
Mushrooms are only reproductive masses. There's more to the fungal world than spreading thick masses of string-like structures in the soil and producing spore spreading mechanisms.
There's a lot of cellulose/lignin rotting fungi that you'll rarely see with your naked eye unless they're in an extremely ideal environment...some brown and soft rots, for instance. Even some white rots only look like a coating of dust on organic matter. They're all doing their thing and releasing breakdown enzymes.
We're surrounded by fungal spores looking to inoculate sources all around us in most environments, whether we purposely culture them into something or not.

Interesting.. I have to read "mycelium running, paul Stamets".. It's all about fungi and the environment.. It's amazing how much a little fungus can do.. Unfortunately, the closest some people get to learning about fungi is athletes foot.. It's sad how unaware people are..
We are here debating about growing food, when the majority of people don't even know how to grow grass.. We are all birds of the same feather, we should spend a portion of our energy getting more people aware of food production..
Those soft powdery "rots" predominate on woody materials in central florida that come in contact with the dry excessively-drained ground, in my gardens there. I have bark and wood chips that have been in the "soil" for five years or more and are still mostly not broken down. When one walks around in the dry-land woods there one sees immense mats of lichens and moss on the ground under shrubs and trees, feeding on the dropped twigs and branches and leaves. There is almost no bacterial decay action of carbonaceous materials in that environment unless one can achieve extremely large piles with sufficient moisture to stimulate thermophyllic microbes. That scale requires machines, of course.
Conversely, the "muck" soils of florida are the result of centuries of anaerobic bacterial action on carbonaceous materials in saturated pockets underlain by poorly drained substrate. Human activity in the form of draining wetlands makes this material dry enough to grow crops and also rapidly burns up the organic material.
It's in fragile environments like those that the basic mechanisms are more apparent.
I refuse to argue. All I can do is offer my own observation through ignorance and learned 'skill.'
I have read Pn browns, Nc's, and raw nature's look at 'wood chips.' I also respect and admire each of their opinions. All are intelligent posts that consider thought and do help me to go forward.
With that in mind, and not looking to start any argument,
I use Pine Bark (not inner wood peeps, the bark) raw; in my soiless mix, with fantastic results. To each his own, but my solanaceae plants thrive on it. The next time I am repotting I will post a picture of the hairy, white new growth roots that attach to the buried pine bark chips. My plants thoroughly love the stuff. I am not talking about breaking down, I actually think the plant itself is breaking it down and loving every minute of it. (pine BARK)

Early in the summer of 2012, I went up to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW). I bought a Fischer #9 map from the Duluth Pack store in Canal Park, and drove up to Ely for a day trip to Hegman. We rented canoes and equipment from Wilderness Outfitters, and drove up the Echo…
The road was a bit bumpy, but that happens, the 80 rod portage into South Hegman was mostly down hill, and relatively well kept. We paddled across South Hegman to the North, where you portage past a beaver dam (5 rods). We paddled north through a couple of sprinkles (drizzling rain) to a "promising"boulder/rubble wall or two, until we passed the Island and all the loose boulders, then we came to a Narrowing in the lake with a tall 20-40 ft mostly shear rock face, where half way up were the Pictographs.
Symbology or the study of the meaning of symbols, has IMHO come to new importance in the Modern Apps era where you need to convey meaning in an image. I've no idea how this particular symbol has been designated as a "Religious Symbol". Admittedly it does resemble a Triquetra in a new age sorta way. But I am confused then with what is meant as a "Religious Symbol", because someone somewhere has bent the de facto meaning of the concept… You know how all these youth's nowadays have turned almost every symbol into something "tribal" or with barbed wire epitomized with these gems:
Is't that Lovely? Because nothing say's I'm a Bad @$$ like a barbed wire Heart.

It is easy to see that the HtmlHelper is a good compramise between the verbose and hard to maintain XCopy of the SVG XML into the cshtml file. and it is also shorter than the object approach.

When I saw this infographic it instantly stuck me as off. I had to look very closely to discover exactly how it was misleading me. This article is clearly biased in the favor of Google, the info depicted here implies market share or importance of development to the observer. It becomes very clear that the author didn't dig for breadth and this infographic is a much better representation of the viewpoint and focus of this articles author as opposed to the state of industry. There was no comment on Qualcomm Zeroth processors, and all of the approaches describer herein use CPU & GPU approaches not NPU. Perhaps the blame should go to Doug Griswald the artist, please Doug read my post about infographics and data representation before you make another.
At the very least this infographic should have been in chronological order (which would put Microsoft as the last "achiever"), but to give the companies different sizes.. Come On man.. Seriously..

Back in 1997 I took my first organic chemistry class, and in it we discussed the origins of organic compounds in a primordial soup. Ever since then I've had interest in the origins of life, "genetics", knowledge transmission and of course Xenobiology. I had considered going to a school in Florida that offered a xenobiology program, I didn't yet that too has always been a decision that I feel could have changed many thing on my view of self. Realistically the field is an odd entity to exist inside the sciences, and perhaps would be better suited to a liberal sciences department that also studies the paranormal, Numerology, and meta-consciousness.
On 4 November 2013, astronomers reported, based on Kepler space mission data, that there could be as many as 40 billion Earth-sized planets orbiting in the habitable zones of sun-like starsand red dwarf stars within the Milky Way Galaxy.[11][12]
It is a fun exercise to revisit once in a while. Astronomers say that 1 in 10 stars has a Goldilocks planet. And if you assume that "Life as we know it" is based on a phospholipid bi-layer enclosing self reproducing reagents then you take into consideration the number of rain drops from a single rain-cloud releasing it's burden over a puddle that has had oils build up on it's surface ( or ocean spray or waterfall droplets…etc) then the chances that a Goldilocks planet has long chain hydrocarbons and doesn't have micelles is infinitesimal! So what about sugars? Well scientists have found sugars in nebular clouds and on asteroids. And we know that planets are accretions of these interstellar. Bodies so it stands to reason that there are sugars on these planets (DNA is sugars with a phosphate backbone). Things like sodium, phosphorus, nitrogen and oxygen can be found right next to the sugars store mentioned in deep space so they would accumulate along with everything else trapped in that Goldilocks' Hilbert sphere. And just on the law of diffusion (entropy) our sugars oils and other gasses & minerals would come into contact with one another. So the setting is right.
But what is it that really makes "LIFE" ? Most people would say the ability to reproduce and or pass along information. O.k…? What does that mean? "knowledge" at it's most mathematical level is most easily described as reverse entropy or perhaps more discreetly as the coefficients of reverse entropy (snap shots in space time of pockets of order) and unlike "nonliving" things these pockets of order don't spontaneously disperse, they grow in magnitude and become more ordered patterns of ordered things ( think a mass of cells). What then is learning? Well we say that plant cells learned to use chlorophyll, but what we really believe is that proto-plant cells ingested chloroplasts (and perhaps other cellular components) and found it more beneficial to not eat then but to nurse from them and "farm" them { if you will }. So in thus case "Learning" was a matter of perhaps a detrimental issue (a lack of digestive system) that lead to the happy accident that resulted in invagination And propagation of chloroplasts ( which were no doubt a competitor at that time of what we would come to call the proto-plant cell.
So learning at it's most basic is still a matter of perspective. Inside the chloroplast the pancake like structures have "evolved" to be wonderful sugar makers and light absorbers. They didn't start that way but over time the chloroplasts that produced the right proteins to make that structure get to live longer (presumeably because the cell nursing on it could last longer between meals due to the ready supply of sugars) and those who were slightly less strong would end up running out of energy and become dinner. This is evolution! Is it also "Learning"?
Certainly we are reducing degrees of freedom in this space and conferring those reduced dimensions to our progeny so yes we have the most basic form of knowledge transfer structural (and possibly related to that genetic). Then as we scale our systems up we see that at a certain point "Learning" takes on new meanings. It is the scale of the dimensionallity here that now becomes meaningful and treacherous at the same time. Is it learning for cells to come together for protection "flocking" into biofilms for example. The film is more than the sum of it's parts, and yet it's parts may be very basic. Do we call it learning when one organism stats producing adhesives to attach to other cells? Or is this just a byproduct of wanting to be more stationary with the added benefit that your neighbor is a filter feeder which circulates food past your mouth for you? ("Lazy 0r Lucky Learning"?)
These types of scale & scale boundary questions it seems have become pervasive across a wide variety of disciplines. perhaps most widely discussed is the quantum classical barrier ,but we find them in places where there are discontinuities between one way of understanding and the next. Even when it comes to classification of extrasolar xenomorphic societies we have discontinuities, but in this case it can help us understand that we as humans need to categorize things to make them comprehensive. Thus we come round circle to semantics and belief.
While starting this research I noticed how many of these "maze" posts start with an explanation of just why you would be interested in mazes… and as I have nothing new to offer in that category, I will refrain from revealing my reasons, and dive right in…
So the idea of a "maze" goes back 4,000 years to the ancient Egyptians (specifically Amenemhat III ). Who, by the time of Herodotus, had created a great Labyrinth in the town Arsinoë (also known as Crocodopolis), about which Heroditus claimed :
"I found it greater than words could tell, for although the temple at Ephesus and that at Samos are celebrated works, yet all the works and buildings of the Greeks put together would certainly be inferior to this labyrinth as regards labor and expense." –ref (more on Wikipedia) (more on amazeingart.com)
Another ancient writer Pliny wrote of the temple:
".. banquet halls reached by steep ascents, flights of ninety steps leading down from the porticoes, porphyritic columns, figures of gods and hideous monsters, and statues of kings." … "Some of the palaces are so made that the opening of a door makes a terrifying sound as of thunder. Most of the buildings are in total darkness."
The resulting legacy has echoed through time, with ideas like the Minotaur's Labyrinth in Knossos, populating the nightmares of Greek and Roman children, they have worked their way into Christianity, and were even a part of Native American religious traditions. Over time they have lost their ominous overtones and become more a thing of novelty such as the "footprint of a Colossus" in Gloucestershire.Today they are a form of entertainment for children and people trying to waste time (my own opinion). But what about the fundamentals?
|Maze Terms
|Definitions based on Branching
|Maze without branches. Sometimes called a circuit maze.
|Maze with branches and dead ends.
|Maze Anatomy
|A path inside a maze.
|A section of the maze containing walls not connected to the external wall of the maze. Sometimes also referred to as a detached wall.
|Blind Alley
|Branch that has a dead end.
|An enlarged area inside the maze with multiple choices of branch leading in/out.
|Types of Maze
|Braid Maze
|A type of maze with branches, but without dead ends. All branches loop back to other branches.
|Perfect Maze
|Maze with no islands or isolated sections. A perfect maze has only one solution.
|Delta Maze
|Maze consisting of interlocking triangles.
|A type of maze composed of square cells.
|Plainair Maze

Video Games like Portal (play flash version here) have taken the concept of a maze to an entirely new level, by introducing a virtual reality where Pirisannni and M.C. Escher would have felt right at home. A couple of interesting applications of higher dimensional spatial pathfinding puzzles are the movie Cube and the The Rotating Labyrinth (access to a playable version here)
Notice any similarities?
Because of the variability in Maze anatomy and dimensionality branching etc, there are a number of ways to generate mazes, however in my experience using randomness like this results in a boring sort of normality (think about probability distribution and you will see what I'm talking about). Pockets of "order" IMHO add to the confusion of the Human solving the puzzle. This can be seen in the Movie "Labyrinth" when the little creatures start messing with the protagonists "bread crumbs".
Solving the maze (or any network problem) is one of the fundamental discreet math concepts. There are gaming variants of this problem primarily the A* Algorithms, and typically when solving a typical maze one is looking for the shortest path. Due to the structure of the solution space of this type of problem (no a priori structure per se) Maze solving algorithm's typically do so by brute force exploration of the solution space. A graphical "tutorial" about longest/shortest path solving can be found at pathery.
Tower Defense
The Tower defense game is in my opinion an inversion of the Maze concept where instead of the least longest path one is striving for the longest path. A sample of this can be seen at Pathery, but typically the game is centered around having a path, and then trying to introduce obstacles to that path, typically the path is exemplified by "living" units" (AI Agents) which can be killed by the sections of maze wall which are often offensive "towers", some games from this category are Plants vs. Zombies, and Defense Grid.
— and since I don't have a rational place to close this discussion so I will just present you the exit:
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog.
Here's an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 11,000 times in 2013. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
I Like many others was enticed to go out shopping on "Black Friday" this year and I got this belt sander. You would think that based on my previous experiences with Wen Products that I wouldn't waste my money. But I did need a belt sander, and it was cheep (which I also was interested in) so I got one. It came disassembled (mostly) but was easy to put together.
Wen it is finally put together (spelling error intended) you get a fairly nice looking albeit hard to figure out how to use upright sander.
Here are my thoughts on this device: the 3/4 hp. motor seems a bit under-powered, and when I first turned it on it did nothing! So I loosened up the belt which was easy to do but made me concerned about how you would get a new belt on there square. So .. Loosened it up and still I turned it on and it did nothing! At this point i was thinking about just returning it, but I had just braved cold temperatures, Black Friday traffic and buying conditions and I was not interested in taking it back. So I decided to go off script, I've had to do this with other under powered "power" tools, and I turned on the machine, and (since the belt was not moving at all) I jump started the belt by hand, and it finally started!!! So Yay I have a "working" belt sander.
All this has gotten me to wonder what is going on with this company and how they can stay in business??
Final thoughts
1 – I have yet to glue the sanding pad onto the disc, however I am disappointed that I have to "glue" anything, it should be velcro adhesive that i just apply to the disc (like industry standard) so … I would like to ask the "engineers" at Wen how one is supposed to replace the sanding disc??? You see it here a a silver round (almost polished) piece of cast aluminum.
2 – The "feet" on this device have already fallen off a couple of times, and the machine will walk as a result (these are the little rubber pieces on the left of the parts image above.
3 – The Factory belt had some grains that were very large and caused deep grooves in the material that I needed to tend to explicitly.
4 – The "safety guard" on the belt sander has a little bar right where it shouldn't if you want to sand a long piece of material (so I had to remove it), this is the L shaped metal bar just above the wrench (which is a piece of crap soft steel).
5 – The "Table" for the disc sander is only only stabilized by a couple of screw knobs, so it may shift during use and is hard to ensure alignment (square), you see the table on the left.
6 – Lastly the screws to adjust the angle of the belt are hidden and the only way you can get to them is with the crappy metal wrench.
So should you buy one? I am not sure.. only if you really need a cheep belt sander.

+ - When devices update - bandwith quota sucked dry 1
For example:
I'm the IT guy who blocks ipads from updating when school is in session because we are in a rural location. 3mbps is the best WAN we can buy. Devices can update after hours just fine. We do this with our router (DDWRT) by blocking MESU.APPLE.COM
Many guests bring in Windows 7 laptops, and I want to welcome them, but not their updates.
How can I block updates on Android Phones and Linux Laptops?
I have a 4G device at home, and I'd like to apply the same tricks 24 hours a day so that I don't use up the bandwith from my vendor. And my many home visitors should have their updates blocked.
Thanks, Wally"

Guitar World rounds up 17 amazing practice amps that will make you sound better.
From Slash's pickups to Eddie's amp, here are five essential pieces of signature gear.
Featuring Roland's unique Tube Logic design, the Blues Cube amps deliver the rich sound and musical touch response of finely tuned vintage tube combos, along with convenient modern features and reduced weight for easy portability.
When shopping for an amp, don't take home the first one you plug into. Sure, that amp may feel really good to play, and you may love how it screams, but are you really going to be happy with it when you wake up tomorrow morning? Here are 10 things you should know before you even consider handing over your money to the amp pimp.
Below, check out a brand-new video posted today, July 14, by Marshall Amplification. The clip is dedicated to the company's Handwired Series of all-valve amps.
Compact, affordable and equipped with built-in effects, the CUBE-10GX is perfect for beginning players or any guitarist looking for a small amp for practice, jamming, and recording.
Below, check out a new video about Louis Electric Amplifiers, a New Jersey-based boutique maker of hand-wired guitar amps. Louis Electric has been building tube amplifiers for more than 20 years. Since the very beginning, Louis Rosano has been building signature sounds for musicians of all genres. You can see and hear them on stages in the U.S. and abroad.
For the past decade, amp manufacturers have waged a low-wattage amp war, all vying to produce the greatest sounding tube-powered, low-output machine.
Orange's new Dual Dark 50 (which is also available as a 100-watt head) does far more than just repackage the Dark Terror's high-gain engine. It offers earth-shaking tonal depth, power attenuation and two highly versatile channels, one of which is an entirely new dynamic preamp section created specifically for the Dual Dark series.
This week's demo video showcases the Marshall AS50D Combo Amp, a 50-watt, 2x8" acoustic amp with 2 channels.
The Skylark idea began with our love and appreciation for classic home/student Sixties American amps such as the Harvard. These small/student amps deliver organic tube juice and vibe at real-world volumes, making them super-usable and super-satisfying.
Guitar Center recently started creating "product spotlight" demo videos for gear that happens to be available at their stores. The week' video showcases the 40-watt, all-tube Marshall DSL40C amp, a versatile combo that's great for gigging.
In the world of high-gain amplifiers, modern players demand aggressive overdriven tones and ample headroom with sparkling cleans.

Obama Wants Americans To Do The Work On Gun Control
With most politicians, this would be a heartfelt speech on getting everyone involved to fix an issue. With Obama's history, this is outsourcing the issue while ducking any work himself
(Politico) President Obama urged Americans to keep pushing for efforts to combat gun violence, as he thanked hundreds of thousands of people for voicing their concerns to the White House over the course of the week since the Newtown shooting.
"We hear you," Obama said in a web video released Friday morning, responding to the more than 400,000 people who have signed a collection of petitions on the White House's We the People website urging a swift response to the Dec. 14 massacre.
"You've started something and now I'm asking for you to keep at it," he said. "I'm asking for your help to make a real, meaningful difference in the lives of our communities in our country and make sure the United States of America is a safer, stronger place for our children to learn and to grow."
There you go, Liberals/Progressives/Democrats: Obama has given you your marching orders. Give up your own guns.
Call out the vast liberal entertainment industry that makes violent movies and TV shows that feature murder and guns.
Call out the video game industry that glorifies murder and guns.
Call out Obama for surrounding himself with people who carry guns, including automatic assault weapons.
But, mostly give up those guns you use for protecting yourself and your families from criminals who couldn't care less about laws and often use guns obtained illegally to rob, injure, and kill people (doing those things are also against the law, just to be clear).

Discussion: Maybe Matthew Vaughn Shouldn't Be Directing X-Men….
'I think we've kind of crossed the Rubicon with superhero films,' Vaughn told the LA Times. 'The genre is going to be dead for a while because the audience has just been pummeled too much.'
….so does this mean he's going to be giving us something different (a la Dark Knight) or is he just bracing himself for a failure of a film? He's previously been attached X Men: The Last Stand, the critically panned third film in the franchise, directed by Brett Ratner, which made the most money in the trilogy despite the negative reviews.
In a 2007 interview with The Daily Telegraph, Vaughn said: "As it happens, I could have made something a hundred times better than the film that was eventually made. It sounds arrogant, but I could have done something with far more emotion and heart."
