About 50,000 people in the US (and ½ million worldwide) die from influenza every year. Influenza is not "just the flu." It is a big deal, I tell my patie...

We all have excuses for everything, especially to get up and do something: "My knee hurts", "I had a rough day", I'm just not feeling up to it today", "I'm lazy", "I do it every –other time, so I'll do it next time". It's not too late to make a difference. Putting it into another perspective, it's similar to saving money. Yes we all know we should have invested better in the past, not spent money on certain things and saved better. It's not too late to start changing yo...

Since then I have learned that manure provides valuable nutrients such as nitrogen which enhances plant growth. It also serves to build organic matter levels of the soil which the...
