Re: RE: Peanut hay confusion

["Susan Evans Garlinghouse" <suendavid@worldnet.att.net>]

The post regarding peanut hay that I sent the other day was in reference to
Arachis  hypogaea, which is apparently different from the variety Deena was
referring to.  I'm a little surprised that two species of plant within the
same genus can vary so widely, but okay.

If someone has calcium-phosphorus levels for the "good" peanut hay, I can
maybe give you some suggestions about whether the calcium is too high.
