Bettye, I meant to ask how you managed to stay with the skunk smell under the house. You and your family must be made of sturdy stuff. That would have been an ideal time to go visiting LOL. I feel for your son-in-law. When we lived in Tampa, FL. We had a flower bed right outside our dinning room window. Someone told me cow manure was good to build up flower beds. So I got several large bags and dumped them in the flower bed and set out my starter plants, it looked so pretty. That night we had a rain, the next day we had a lot of hot sun, then we had a lot of smell. No one told me you are supposed to mix the cow manure with dirt. The neighbors didn't say much, they just laughed a lot. I'm not going to repeat what my husband said but that weekend we reworked the flower bed. I've never used cow manure since LOL. Gail in La.
