Supposedly keep spiders away, and cure what ails ya.

Well er they are certainly different. Here is to s bug free year for the GA household.

If it works will you start an export business ?

Maybe if I get a bunch of them going. I'll need secure supplies, then I can start worrying about trying to export agricultural products. I can only imagine the red tape tidal wave involved in that. Compare that to the projected sales, and I just don't see a viable business model . It does make a good yellow dye, can be used to repel cockroaches, and removes warts, ostensibly.

Also, supposedly the best bow wood known to man, hence the name Bois d'arc.

I am about to put an order in for 94 metres of fleece to fulfill orders... I may have to go and sleep in a tent until they are all made up and dispatched...

11.2 miles my ride this day, over by Towanda, to see where the trail will pass through. Gravel roads I was not aware of awaited me on my journey, but all went well, and I had another brush with the hedgeballs today.
Here's one of two hedgeballs I brought home.

Here's another that had an unfortunate accident when falling from the tree. It hit the edge of the guardrail, on which it impaled itself.
