Love me those,hoverflies!

Yup, that's a hoverfly.

Relatively so, found a company in Nashville.

No, just found it locally.

Adam, Sunn Hemp, despite its terrible name, is a member of the pea and bean family. Thus, it fi,es iteohen into the soil via Rhzobia.

James, I am in zone 8a. So far I have been using them during the season and using shredded leaves for cover in winter. (The closest the South gets to a "Mollisol effect".)

Of course, there is the other issue with saving seed.... way more seed than you will ever need! I am TERRIBLE with this! I am perpetually trying to give seed away. Right now it is marigold, loofah, and leraka gourd that I am overloaded with.

@Dennis Wichter , do you feel a seed saving post is appropriate?

My thoughts. I drink tea rather than coffee but sometimes I get coffee grounds at Starbucks.... 1. Moderation is important, like with most amendments. 2. NEVER, and I mean NEVER use unbrewed grounds. Yes I did that. Once. The tomatoes somehow survived but oh boy. ( long story) 3. I usually mix grounds in a planting hole where I am transplanting. I have also added them to compost piles. Be careful with the rotating ones though....just saying.

Sorry. I hit a wejrd setting for a second. Grounds are a much better amendment in an alkaline context where the acidity is helpful. Here in Alabama, I really haven't used them much. They do have a strong and qell-deserved reputation for claybusting along Colorado's Front Range.
