I got more so I could finish the 2 topsides of my property .It does not take much to do since the spores can reproduce a thousand times in just a month .I just wanted to make sure I got great coverage faster .And it does not seem to bother worms because I sure have plenty of them .When I dug the holes for the new trees and moved one tree all I saw was big fat worms .I planted 3 shrubs and moved 4 shrubs to other spots because they seemed to not like where they were growing .I also planted 6 new fruit trees .I love the end of season sales on trees and can't resist 5 dollars for 8 foot trees .

The breather is doing just fine. Its created so that it freezes into the ice. I keep the snow away from it though, so the holes don't get blocked. I think my biggest worry has been the pump cage getting clogged with leaves or other debris over time, since there is no way to get to it, but so far It looks like its just fine.

Well, we made it quite a ways through winter before seeing this... Too bad. This stuff will be around for awhile.

Hubby says he thinks I found a dinosaur egg last week, while looking for rocks down by river. What do you think? I have the piece of shell that fits perfect over the top, right now it is in my fish tank and hubby wants me to get it out of tank....
