	Here's an interesting read about what's happening in Canada. Share the news with the park management official near you and plant that first seed of an idea. Push for green space to be productive. The victory garden of our times. __________________ High Tolerance is Beautiful

	I pick my blueberries in the same place I tip toe through the poison ivy etc. I'll leave weeding out the toxic flora to the experts, however, I'll assume they know how to grow squash without killing anyone at all. __________________ High Tolerance is Beautiful

	Botanical gardens are honestly breathtaking. I randomly had a thought of how amazing it would be if I could grow my own food at home, specifically a mushroom soup. Then it hit me. What if I just grow my own mushrooms at home (using mushroom growing kits). For anyone who doesn't know, you grow mushrooms through kits and can teach your kids to grow them too. Growing mushrooms at home is something that every gardener should attempt. That said, mushroom growing at home just has ONE problem. If you’re a beginner, finding the best mushroom growing kit for beginners is not an easy job. Some are super delicate so you also have to worry if it is the strongest mushroom grow kit. So recommend me the best mushroom kits i can get off of amazon. AND What are the best mushroom growing kits for beginners?

	<...What are the best mushroom growing kits for beginners?...> The way to conduct a poll on this forum is to list the name of each one in separate answers to this thread below and wait for Good Answer votes on each one. The chances of such a poll being statistically significant are below 1%. It pays to remember that over 68% of statistics are made up on the spot. __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	Speaking of mushrooms... a few weeks ago, I inoculated some oak rails with Shiitake mushroom spores,... I have a few other varieties also... button head and red caps. They work best in lawn and garden waste. Also some in sawdust and straw mulch... I was taking some pictures I’ll post t as soon as they start producing. __________________ “ When people get what they want, they are often surprised when they get what they deserve " - James Wood

	Don't botanical gardens contain a lot of poisonous plants? Yes they do, and also that very same poison, is a cure for an ailment we didn’t discover yet. __________________ “ When people get what they want, they are often surprised when they get what they deserve " - James Wood
