Ready Made mag
My brother Noah recommended this site to me. It's an online magazine that you click through like a real magazine (minus the paper:)
http://readymademag.com/
I really enjoyed the article about 10ft x 10ft dwellings. Check it out.

I make a green pledge...
I am making a green pledge to deliver all of my eBay items and other things that need to be shipped directly to the shipping store via bicycle. I figure I can save my self gas, save UPS and the USPS gas, save the Earth from more toxic emissions, get a little exercise and have fun at the same time! All I did to my cruiser was add a flat mount saddle platform on the seat post and a couple of bungee cords and move this large box to the shipping store today.

Square Foot Garden Begins!!!
Here is the first step in my square foot garden...building the frame. I took two 8ft, cedar 2x6's and cut them in half. Screwed them together with galvanized screws, lined the bottom with burlap and tadaa! Instant site for a garden! I am going to add the soil mixture later, but here's a good start. This could be used in an entry way, on a patio, on the side of the house, think of the spots that you have 4ft x 4ft in you yard or patio and you could build one of these. OR! Just build a box as big as you want and plant whatever you want as well! Enjoy mini gardening.
Here are some plants that I am starting indoors, so that later I can plant them outside. Garlic (the tall ones), carrot tops (maybe they'll sprout?), and some onions and beans in the container. (which is some leftover deli containers filled with vermiculite, on top of each other to create a mini green house). The onion seeds have started to sprout, the beans are taking a little while longer.
I will continue to post updates on how my progress is going! I am curious to see how much produce I can get from this one garden and in future gardens!!!
I got all these fun ideas from:
the All New Square Foot Gardening book and website!

How many paper towels do you use in the Bathroom?
Just a little check to see if everyone can cut back on their paper towel usage after using public restrooms. Just think how many trees would be saved if we all only use one paper towel at a time...or better yet, just wipe your hands on your pants!
