For the lover of the truly exotic, Mr. Wheeler also sells a variety of specialty dungs, including elephant, zebra and rhinoceros, which he obtains as part of his ?manure removal service.? As elephants and rhinos do not dot the New England hills, one has to ask where he removes that dung from. ?I can?t reveal all my sources,? he said with a laugh. ?I even have fossilized dinosaur dung which is called coprolet. That can come in pretty large pieces. We?re real poop specialists, but most of this stuff, elephant and rhinoceros dung, are not big pushers?we don?t sell too much of it, although it can be a good deer repellent. The deer aren?t familiar with it, and when they smell it they leave the plants alone.?
Ever the innovator, Mr. Wheeler has also looked at the problems faced by homeowners when working in their lawns and has invented a new kind of wheelbarrow, known appropriately as the Wheeler Barrow. It is designed for gardeners and has a soil sifter. ?If they are pulling weeds, they can shake the dirt into the wheel barrel and throw the weeds into the compost pile,? he said. ?The soil can then be sifted back onto the lawn as a top dressing. The wheeler Barrow can also be used as a potting bench.?
Those wishing to purchase Compsoil or any of the other kinds of exotic fertilizers may call or fax Wheeler?s Landscaping at (860) 283-4776. Compsoil usually costs $35 per yard, with a minimum order of 10 yards. One yard covers an area approximately 10 feet by 10 feet and three inches deep. ?If they don?t need ten yards, then they?re back to regular soil?they call that dirt,? said the entrepreneur gaily.
Compsoil, Compilizer and the specialty dungs are all sold in bags and one-gallon and five-gallon pails, which can be shipped through the mail. ?Gardeners love the five-gallon pails, which come with a hanger and tools on the side and a seat on the top,? he said. ?They can sit on the pail while working in the garden.? The pails retail for $22 to $25. Friday, April 14 2000
