Do you want to compost so badly that you buy materials?
Comments (19)Barter could be a great thing for the common citizen. I injoyed the few local exchanges I've attended over the years. Were my plate not full already,I would love attempting to establishing a first Sat morn exchange at the nearby farmer's market. If you all are referring to Keurig,we have used one since Christmas. We toss them into empty 2 LB coffee containers that I saved in the past. Occasionaly I empty several by ripping away the foil cover and plunging needle nose pliers to the bottom and pulling out both, filter and coffee. I normally have enough material but here is how I handle the waste veggies from the supermarket when I need them. I carry a step ladder,an open top 55 gal barrel,rubber gloves and a trash pick-up tool in the truck when going shopping. As I leave the market I pull by the dumpster. 90% of the produce waste is in wood shipping crates and if not covered very deep can be pulled to where I can grip with my hand and remove from dumpster. Everone understands that part but what about being questioned about the act? I say that I'm aware they don't give the stuff away and I plan leaving the place as clean as I found it. Were anyone to start non-sense about liability of me becomeing sick from eating it,I will show them the groceries and recept to set them at ease. I only had to deal with that issue a few times in 30 years. The employee never pushed the thing except one time. I didn't remove any more nor put any back when she threatened calling the cops. I apoligized for upsetting her then left. Were the police ever involved and gave me a ticket,I plan asking for a jury trial. I fully expect the city would drop it but if a jury found me guilty,I've had worse happen. I know some would be crushed over a scolding for dumpeter diving but I have fairly thick skin plus a real dislike for how liability is over the top and become a monkey on our back at every turn. Does anyone believe a street person can get a judgement against a store because he ate spoiled food from their dumpster? That's why the manager can't invite you to take the stuff but isn't likly to prosicute you for taking it without permission. Just don't create a mess,that's mostly why dumpster diving is frowned on....See MoreI CAN read, but.....
Comments (7)Thanks, Robert, for your quick feedback. Well, I went out back and tiptoed over to the pot, brought her in and lo and behold, I had forgotten that I had planted two bulbs in the pot! They are "HUGE" -- large naval orange size -- with offsets/bulblets (newbie, here, remember?) and nice and firm. So, washed off old soil (it was rather moist since we've had near monsoons around here!), roots looked great, although lost a few of those in separating out the bulbs, cut off the last of the foliage, and planted them in their individual 8" pot to be kept inside in the sunroom. I'm hoping to get blooms in the winter, but if indeed they are or are going dormant, as you suggest, then likely not? Whatever happens, I'll surely plant them in the ground next spring, much closer to the house so they get the attention they deserve! Thanks! Yasmin...See MoreClassic reads... How many have you read?
Comments (14)I've read all but the first one, though I tried to get through that one. SILENT SPRING lit the fire in my belly regarding pesticide use and helped shape the direction of my career.

Comments (10)Hooray! Gypsy Cats it is. Debra Gypsy Cats is generally 8 inches here; can be a bit less or a bit more, but 8 is typical and it tends toward a bit more.. I have just gone out and Dearest Valentin is now open and has two blooms today, and the seedling has put up a rebloom scape, so they are all doing well. I have posted FGT a number of times, but it has made a show several more times. It had the most blooms of any flower in my garden by a considerable margin. As usual, Kate when I water, it rains and no complaints here. We will send you some if you want FGT when I send Black Mingo. Thanks Sherry, I am happy to see it since the liies crave water so much. kay...See More- 4 years ago
