Swappin'

Being most profoundly broke, and needing some equipment I stopped at the local "Junque" dealer. He has a field cultivator I can use. He agreed to swap scrap so I been cleaning up the place. Yesterday he asked me if I knew where he could get a load of well rotted manure for his mothers garden.






I brought him a load and we went to his mom's to drop it off. Her raspberry patch was sending up runners all over the tilled portion of the garden. She told me I could take as many as I want. I must have gotten at least 30 new starts.

Sounds like a good deal to me (other than the profoundly broke part)!

Nothing sweeter than getting rid of stuff you have no use for, in exchange for something you do want/need!
