One of the biggest reasons it ends up being wrong is people are asking about a true cover crop.  Annual aggressive plants that fix nitrogen, build biomass and choke out weeds and grass, … Continue reading →

Daily I get at least a few emails from what I call the Hysterics Crowd.  The basics of which are “THE WORLD IS ENDING, THE SKY IS FALLING”.  There are some common memes these folks tend to latch onto as to our impending doom.  No matter the meme de jour though there are some common components to most of them. The first commonality is they are generally based on facts that have been bent, skewed and twisted to sell an idea.  The second it that it is hard to believe that such people can really believe them as they stray … Continue reading →

An avid shore fisherman, Dan Triano of New Ringgold, PA became frustrated with not being able to get his bait out past the sand bar where the big fish are. One day, he and his buddy were talking about how best to get their bait REALLY out there. That is when the idea for the, Sand Blaster Bait Caster was born. This is a fishing apparatus that launches bait up to 300 yards out into the ocean from the shore. That’s right….that’s THREE FOOTBALL FIELDS! I wanted to bring Dan on for a few reasons today.  First I just thought … Continue reading →

We will call this officer Tim O’Brian though that isn’t his real name.  He must use a false name to avoid potentially … Continue reading →
