The landuse would be in the summer and would hopefully host Rock of the Woods 2012 (2011 - www.rockofthewoods.com). After a very successful first year at the Historic Bamberton site I felt it should be moved to allow for a better use of land. I am really keen to keep this project in the Cowichan Valley as I grew up there and feel like it is the prefect spot. Bob Mitchell at the IFA suggested I get in touch.

Five to 15 yards depending on availability. Organic preferred but non-certified natural sh@t is what I'm after. I honestly cannot believe how difficult it has been to source composted manure here in the Cowichan. Please write me directly or call. tel# 250-715-8658 Many thanks, John Hello all,

On of our growers has dramatically improved his soils by feeding his leafy greens from hills that have had alfalfa pellets added. Others add compost alone. When buying top soil be sure it is not too high in sand especially if your soil is sandy or gravelly. In the Cobble Hill area Central Landscape is the closest supplier of soil and compost.
