Milk thistle?

Hi fellow revelutionnaires.  I have a split vote on whether to use smelly Plant-tone with white wormy bugs in it.  Split right down the middle and, despite having called headquarters to get an answer from the Source itself, no one from Espoma called me back today.  Hoping to hear something soon.  In the meantime, still taking votes….

Hi all,  I was planning to use some leftover Plant-Tone (http://www.espoma.com/p_consumer/tones_plant.html) from last year but when I unrolled the bag, I saw a bunch of small, mealy, wormy looking white bugs, and it smelled bad.  I know that, generally, when something smells bad, that’s just not good – but, this being organic plant food/fertilizer and all, I’m thinking maybe it’s ok?  Advice??? p.s. left a message with the company – based in NJ – but I’m gardening today.  General, follow-up question to this is – if you’re not going to use something in your garden (like this or the wild onions I was thankfully swayed away from – gracias, Ron y Megan), should it also stay out of the compost?

Hard to see and believe, I know, but this is the snail crawling out of the contractors bag I put him in. Bad revel gardener, bad. Maybe this is why I’m still here?

Any suggestions?

Thinking of our friend and sister, Michelle Saunders, who left us today. For those who knew her, please share your thoughts and memories here.

I will post more later, including how to help her two young sons who survive her.

We love you, Michelle.

These are the nasty beasts.
