Hello,
Thank you for all your work here.
I was wondering if you are going to update your calendar. I think this would be a very useful tool as so many books are written for other zones.
Many thanks,
Lyndsay

Comment on Food Waste - a growing issue by Jeff Kurtz

Jeff Kurtz — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 15:28:11 +0000

Love to see the trend of recycling food at all levels of the growth to consumption cycle.

I take the trash bin from a produce vendor at a local farm market to feed my worms. If I take away 200# on a weekend, freshly tossed into a steril 40 gallon trash bag, I’ll sort out about 40# that they pitched just because iot wasn’t “retail pefect” and use or gift that stuff. The green scraps go to my 2 rabbits. Stuff with seeds, like melons, go to my 2 chickens. Everything else goes into my worm bins or compost heap.

In a mater of days, maybe weeks, it’s all fertilizer and goes across my garden and lawn. If only all the stuff that is going into land fills were being composted and right on the surface of our earth!

Keep up the great information sourcing!

I’m so thankful that you kept this rodent thing a secret…. I would not have wanted to work in that garden had I known… haha. But well done! I can’t wait to see it all cut-back and rodent-free!

What a wonderful summary Emily! Thank you. This course is amazing to me because the level of knowledge/awareness at the end of the trip is always so exceptional. And it keeps growing - almost organically - as students return to Canada… Thank you for being a part of it - everyone adds SO MUCH - and for contributing this wonderful blog. Un abrazo cubano! Wendy

I have been seeing the same spots on my tomatos the last few days and I was unsure if this was due to lake of water or not. Thank you for posting this. I will water my plants today and check for proper new growth. Thanks also for helping others!!!

This is really good information. It’s good you clarify it because for me, Food security sounds more like emergency food. Or natural disaster preparation. Which I also think it is important to be informed about. Thanks a lot!
