Can you buy morrell spore or will it grow in our climate?

Yes you can and it grows quite well.  You spread it in a shady tree covered area where you have lots of leaf-fall.  It takes a couple of years but you will start to get good size flushes in the spring and fall.  I have found wild morels all over Oklahoma.  I buy a lot of my supplies here. http://www.fungi.com/  and here http://www.gmushrooms.com/mhk.htm .

You can also get better deals on ebay.

A fun project is growing oyster mushrooms on a roll of toilet paper.  I did this for the kids once.

The class is free. I will cover bin designs and spend a little time on worms as well.
I call it binformation and global worming.

OK, now the secret is out.  Composting is causing man-made global warming.

I does produce CO2, heat and Methane, but I would assume far less than commercial fertilizers and Urea.  The stuff is going to rot one way or another.  If you send it off to the city landfill you lose the benefit to your lawn.

Lowe's has them for about $10.

They grow well in Oklahoma if you can get them past the first year or two.  They tend to put on heavy top growth before the roots get a chance to mature.  Using a rooting hormone when you plant and cutting off any blooms that may form the first year will help.

I only get one "Daffy" plant that comes up each year next to my porch, it pops up in February it flowers fast then dies. The kind of weed killer I use is called "Elimantor" comes in a small 16 oz bottle, sells for $8.00 at Wally World, and mixes with water to make 10 gallons. It works great, but kills grass & weeds. Water proof in two hours.

I thought I smelled something like that wafting from the direction of Necker Island last weekend when MC and I were sailing in the North Sound.

Read closer - it's global WORMING.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Dang progressive bi-focals.

It's still slow oxidation of hydrocarbons though.

Could be worse - could need trifocals....

Hit it with some Weed-B-Gone.  As the name implies, it makes the weeds be gone.
