Some of you people take life way to serious. Lighten up, nobody gets out alive anyway..

If one or two light sprited jokes is all it takes to make you "take your ball and go home" theres the door.

Awsomebean's question deserves an answer, not retarded remarks.
If there was a function to leave a bad comment on your profiles the majority of you all would get one from me.

Now with that all said,
Awsomebean, I believe you are refering to peat, and usually can be had for cheap at Walmart, home depot, lowes and stores like that. Just make sure you don't get any with fertilizer on it.

BTW: its not soil, its brown stuff, kinda like hay that people generaly use to plant those hanging plants you put up on your porch.

Rodney
while they are making funny commebts, you call them retarded, which is even more offensive. why do you feel compelled to make that kind of coment?

I tohught it was funny too, but it wouldnt of been hard to include an actual answer to his question and spell the word P-E-A-T out at least. Wouldnt of taken anyone any longer to provide an answer alongside the humor. We're all here to learn as well as have fun!

I think this thread has been beaten to death. Let it die. Yes, Pete is funny. All of them. But this poor Awesomebean fellow(ette) hasn't been active on this forum since 8-24. Maybe awesomebean has gone on to another forum, started abusing drugs....and that's sad.

This is what awesomebean looks like now. Hope your happy.

I think I like the humour of this thread as well......so I will add a little too....
You can make your own peat substate if you like being out doors. Be warned though, some plants are rich in acids and can take some time to balancing the tank after you set it in motion. If you like a veriety of materials, and like using your blender, we can do the Red Green organic show. Since someone brought out the fact they like the Canadean peat.
So we will go the Canadean way, well Red Green way, but no duct tape will be required. I like to use the mulcher part of my lawn tools too, it helps to break down the heavy stuff before dropping it into the blender. Tree bark from the garden, grass clippings, or to make it real simple, I use to go down to the lake and dig up five gallon buckets worth of peat from maw nature.
If you need to know, I am very unorthadox and like using mostly natural habitat eco garb. It makes for an interesting class with the kids and helps them understand exactly how evolution works on eco systems and how thew grow and work.........and no I am not trying to be funny with this post either.
I have a large family and four of my children are marine biologist who work around this country. I am also one who believes in using what is available over going to the store and just simply spending the money to buy all the required stuff. Good luck with finding your peat, do some research on the chemistry of what you buy or make, acids can take a couple weeks to balance in your tank for aquatic life........ 8>) Maximo

It is/was rather humorous, he set himself up for the comical jabs, I noticed this thread the day he made the post, I had many Ideas running through my mind also, but I resisted the temptation....

I don't think it was Pete.

It was Gone Johnson...

Thanks EBB!
