I wonder if price has a lot to do with what people are willing to eat. The more money, more people want to try it. $50 for ostrich steak at fancy restaurant delicacy, free squirrel no way.

I've noticed that!

Old neighbor's father owned a furniture store. He'd put higher prices on the cheaply-made furniture to get it to sell. Well-made furniture at a good price didn't move that well.

Haha Red! DH and I had a furniture store. When we had something that wouldn't sell, we marked it down. If it still didn't sell, we moved it up front, marked it up more than it originally sold for and it would be gone within a week. On more than one occasion items sold to people who had been in the store repeatedly, checking to see what was new, walked right past said item, scarcely gave it a glance. After it was marked way up, they fell in love with it and bought it. Go figure.

Yes, Bay. Other people sure are strange.

I read an article once about how to sell a house and they said if the house didn't sell in a reasonable amount of time, to raise the price instead of lowering it....said that if you lowered it that people would equate that price with the worth of the home, but if you raised it, they would do the same. It's a crazy world! Why not price it too high in the first place?

This BTE is on its last legs...corn and peppers have been harvested, tomatoes harvested right after these pics. The cukes and squash are done and the only thing currently taking off are all the flowers.

Soon it will be time to spread the rest of my chips~3 piles~and remove all I can of the vines and such from being intertwined in the cattle panels. Will try to put more chips and leaves on this fall, as well as more manure and such.

I hope to plant some lettuce, spinach, kale and beets next week and see if they will even germinate. Will plant them into potting soil trenches to see if that helps.

Bee, are you just going to layer the chips, leaves, and manure? I need to amend my soil but the wood chips are in the way.
