It latched onto him when he carried it, and had small little spines on
its back. Ann B.
 Q: I found a nice-looking sugar maple at a local
nursery. Now I?m noticing these canker looking things on some of the
branches. Andy W.

possible to build or buy any number of compost bins that will
accomplish the goal without offending the neighbors.
