I have two problems, the first having to do with composting
Comments (18)blinkmyster .... said "About two weeks ago I added two bails of peatmoss, and three bags of steer manure..." Do you mean bale as in bale of hay, or bail as in bucket? 2 bales in that small a garden space seems like a lot to me. 2 buckets seems about right.[but then I garden in clay, and I note that you have sandy soil, so maybe the larger amount of peat is called for.] Sounds like you're going gangbusters with your garden! Did you mention introducing earthworms into your garden? May I suggest you start a small worm 'pit' somehwere in or near the garden...populate with composting worms, feed aged animal manure, kitchen scraps, etc. cover with wet cardboard or piece of carpet, keep moist and let the wrigglers do their thing. Have you seen the 'trench composting' links from another Canadian? Glad your composting leaves problem was resolved. Here is a link that might be useful: Vermicomposting trench...See MoreDo I have to get marble all from the same place?
Comments (11)Thanks everyone. You gave me exactly the answer i was hoping for! I do love the variation in the natural materials (one of the reasons I prefer the real stuff to the synthetic), so I was thinking that mixing would work. Thanks! caligirl, what are you using for the base? Are you running the subway to the floor, or using a ceramic or marble base? I looked into marble base but at $21 a linear foot I couldn't swing it. I just want something to give it some definition. I'm using basketweave marble on the floor, subways up the wall, a decorative strip of carrara and nero squares, another row of subway, and then a pencil liner. (pencil liner is instead of the chair rail I'd originally wanted). Are you also doing marble on the countertop? I'm trying to decide what to do there. Mine is a kids' bath so marble seems like a bad idea... anita...See Morecan i do the same rug in the mbr & lr?
Comments (4)I think the master bedroom and living room are separate enough that using the same rug wouldn't be an issue. I would just try and pull out different colors to be the dominant decorating scheme in each room - if you decorate them in the same paint/window treatments etc. then while again, I don't think anyone would really notice, you might get tired of the sameness of the rooms over time. But if you pull the blue out of the rug for one room and the green for another, I don't think that they share the same exact rug will matter at all....See MoreI have one Kohler Vinnata. Do I need two?
Comments (4)We have both and love them. I would caution that even the prep faucet is rather large so it may depend on the size of your prep sink...it might overpower a smaller one. Here's a not very good picture of the prep area. Our sink is almost square- 15x16....See MoreKen A
