Do You Talk to the People Whose Leaves You Pick Up?
Comments (12)People in our municipality generally have a habit of placing raked and bagged - and sometimes shredded ;)- leaves close to the curb before pick-up day. Then they move them to the curb on what we call 'green cart' day. (Our municipality composts so one week they pick up all compostables and recyclables, and the next week it's regular landfill garbage. We have these big green carts where homeowners place the compostables and then wheel it out to the curb.) I always talk to the homeowners since the bags are not set directly at the roadside in most cases. Everyone is always interested in their use, but most are not gardeners so they really don't want the leaves. One guy does shred some and leave them on his lawn, but he's got so many he puts 1/2 to the curb, and the other 1/2 he throws in the woods behind his house. Since meeting him, he now bags everything for me and is happy to see me every year. I have about 50 bags of his stuff under our veranda waiting to be shredded. I've been collecting from one particular household for 4 years now. I had received permission from the 'man of the house' to drive unto his property to get the shredded goodies. This fall, his wife came out and expressed an interest in gardening since she was retiring. I gave her my personal info for her to get in touch with me in the spring so I can give her a boatload of perennials and young shrubs! And if it so happens that they start using the goodies I've been getting from them, then all the better!...See MoreWANTED: People who can pick up Brugmansia's in Burlington Ont
Comments (6)Another two cents, I don't think the 'Brug' forum is for US members only, plenty of Canadians post over there. It is for all brug lovers and growers. Trades, on the other hand, have specific forums for different countries. But....if you are looking for a specific plant, then I don't see why you should have to limit where you post, and vice versa (offering a specific plant). Chances are there are more than a few people from your neck of the woods posting on that particular forum and you can make some good trades and good friends at the same time. That being said, I like Ruth Ann's idea, and will be doing something similiar in a couple weeks. Right now, my brugs are still going out during the day, and coming in most nights, cause they are still full of flowers and buds. But once the cold really hits, they will be cut back drastically and I will have more cuttings than space. So anyone in the Ottawa/Gatineau area who may be interested, please email me....See MoreISO good Philly-area granite fabricator & bianco antico-like slab
Comments (6)I live in Southern Chester County. I used Stone Masters in Kennett Square. They did fabulous work. (I have BA) In fact I was in there yesterday with a friend looking for her counters. Their prices might not be the cheapest around, but I feel you really are paying for the craftsmanship and you get it from them. Let me know if you do go, I'll tell you whom to ask for. Here is a link that might be useful: Stone Masters...See MoreLunch in the Philly area 3/22 and 3/29
