Ahhah! But did the peanut shells decompose, or are they just 
shredded to fibre with their half-life of 500 years?

Christopher,

    I don't have an answer to that as the fluff they are reduced to 
blends in with everything else and I can't seperate them for testing.

RP>     point.  I lost all my AVs, and a few other house plants during that
RP>     power failuer following the ice storm in this area.
I am sorry to hear this. I have a friend near Hamilton with a 
wall of A-Vs. very impressive display. If you were half as fond 
of yours as she of hers, it's a greta loss.
From where will you get new stock of AVs?
