CAMARILLO, CA (ContentDesk) May 24, 2006 -- "Carrots for Kids" seed growing kits are now available from Agromin, a Camarillo, Calif. manufacturer of premium soil products. The kits are designed to teach kids ages 6 through 12 how food is grown and the importance of green recycling. They can be grown indoors or out.Each kit contains carrot seeds, a planter box with tray, plant labels, a planting instruction bookmark, a green recycling activity booklet, a pencil made of recycled wood, stickers and two, two-quart bags of planting soil. The cost of the kit is $24.95.

Bulk and school program discounts are available.The soil included with the kits contains recycled green material (i.e., lawn clippings, leaves and tree limbs) that is chopped, cleaned and naturally composted before being placed into the potting soil bags. The soil contains no animal waste or sludge. "If we don't recycle the greens from our backyards, schools and businesses, our landfills will become overloaded," says Bill Camarillo, president of Agromin. "Also, by tending to their carrots, kids will gain an understanding of how vegetables are grown. They'll have a better idea of the amount of care that goes into growing the fresh produce they see at the store.

Growing vegetables from seeds is also a fun parent-child project."

Digging Up Earthnuts (Conopodium Majus)

The custom of grubbing for Earthnuts, or Pignuts is as ancient as mankind itself. Although these tasty tubers are beloved of pigs (hence the name) they are a most unusual and rewarding woodland snack and there was a time when they were a popular nibble for country children on their way to and from school.The fern like leaves appear along with the Lesser Celandine in the spring. During May and July they develop umbellifer heads with white flowers not unlike Cow Parsley. According to Gerard and others the Dutch once ate them 'boiled and buttered, as we do parseneps and carrots'. Unearthing a pignut is a delicate operation.

The root disconnects from the tuber very easily, which can be several inches from where the stem appears above ground.Follow the stem under the earth using careful scraping with a twig, fingernail or knife. Eventually you will reach the pignut which is covered with a chestnut coloured skin. If you can wash the nut at this stage it avoids getting muddy fingernails...

We're not licensed nor are we doctors, but we know what has worked for our horses and for lots of others, so we wanted to share our experiences in case it helps cure your own horse of equine Cushings disease.While looking through a nutritional healing book at Debra's Natural Gourmet in West Concord, Mass., I came across a sentence that said "Chasteberry feeds the pituitary gland." Chasteberry in recent times has been used mainly for "women's complaints." I know it works because it beats the crap out of PMS, you feel...
