Billy;
I do not have a lot of trees and so buying by the bag is not a big
problem.
Time is the problem because I have to chop the stuff up and I have yet
to find a decent food processor at a garage sale. I end up using a
cutting board and ten inch french chef's knife from my kitchen and I use
up a whole afternoon chopping a bag of the stuff. Then I have to
resharpen the knife. I'd love to find it already chopped, but no luck as
yet.
