One challenge that anyone who gardens faces is how to get organic material for your growing space. One of the many gifts my husband Tom has is being in the right place at the right time. So two days ago this ASPLUNDH truck was doing work on our street. (Yes, the answer to your question can be found here.) Tom disappears and before I know it this load of goodness is being dumped on the curb in front of our house. The resulting pile was enough to cover a Mac truck. Needless to say we've got our work cut out for us. This will be spread over any area that is currently unplanted in our Fall garden and between rows of crops and cover crops. The next morning when I left to take our children to school the pile was steaming from the top, evidence that the organic material has already began decomposing. That's really exciting stuff around these parts.
In other news around the digs, I started a kombucha mother from scratch and she's growing beautifully. I'll post soon about that. Our children are salivating just waiting for the first batch to be ready. I hope to be doing a class for some friends from our Holistic Moms organization on fermented foods soon so this new batch will be perfect to show them.
Things have been busy and I have a new website up and running called Feeding Families Well. Please stop by and check it out, like it on Facebook, and follow on Twitter if you please.
Thanks for visiting our digs,
