OK, so it's just above freezing here in the north east section of PA...   and two days of rain brought floods to many places...   If only I had a place to put it... my sump pump moved about 15,000 gallons of water from the sump in the basement.   And I do grey water collection to be h2o conserviatve... go figure.

Just started a vermi-culture project test project in the basement...   My daily travels collect coffee grounds from  local places,,,   for months they have been collecting on tom of the snow and ice caked compost heap out back...   will have to see if all this stuff I've been seeing about these critters (worms)  is for real.   Will look forward to my home grown potting soil coming into fruition in about two weeks... wish me luck.  

hmmm   how do I get the underline function turned off???

Ask your local Starbucks location if they are participating in Grounds for your Garden!  It's supposed to be a national effort, but some locations need coaxing.

Am putting thoughts together for DIY worm farm for teachers...   Looks like it will go together nicely.     Found cities in Canada that use a similar system for in-apartment composting!  How kewl is that?

 Enjoy the day!
