Lessons Learned

In these financial times, we all try to find ways to save money. Our farm can be a financial strain, and we do everything we can to cut costs. But as we have discovered today, sometimes saving a little money is NOT WORTH IT!!!

We will now show our comparison like the Mastercard commercials. Hope you enjoy...

Price of Fertilizer Spread by Professionals: $2500.00

Price of Fertilizer bought in bulk and spread by Alex: $1600

Price of 1 gallon vinegar, 3 boxes of baking soda, and a can of tomato sauce: $8.15

Price of never again having to bathe in vinegar, baking soda, and tomato paste to keep from smelling like a human fertilizer bomb: PRICELESS


A picture says a thousand words...

I knew that my son-in-law was a great chef but I never thought he would go to such lengths to perfect a recipe for marinara sauce. Love, Me

While you were factoring in the prices published, what about the tuition cost for umpteen years at Donoho that helped you arrive at this "priceless" conclusion? Maybe you were trying to put what you learned in chemistry class there to good use? Love, Me

Seriuosly? That's gross...and oddly funny.

yep, guys -- it was beyond gross (and yet it became pretty hysterically funny at the same time, too)...

However, if you could have smelled the smell, you would have gone to any lengths to get rid of it!!
