Re: ok, fine, I eat COMPOSTED, RECYCLED manure

How did you expect me to respond to your question?

I eat dirt, too. I eat straight from the garden, no washing necessary, or desired. So I've for sure eaten some fresh manure as well(bug manure, most likely). The good things about bug manure are that it is gifted to us in such relatively small quantities and that the bugs are danged good at spreading it for us! So those 2 factors would probably make it compost VERY quickly...hehehe... :D

My original argument was that Grz's statement that bugs won't touch his dehydrating produce is not necessarily a sign of quality. It reflects storage conditions(lack of humidity). A root cellar is best(lack of light), to extend the keeping. And it also reflects the fact that the transit time from the farm to his house is MUCH shorter than the average. Hence the perception that it dries, or rots, more slowly.

Some of the BEST produce is never for sale. It doesn't last past a day or 2. Does that make it of low quality? no.

And yeah, if a bug won't touch it, that's a bad sign.

BTW, have you got your garden in?
