My Earth Day 2009 Pledge
Posted on April 22nd, 2009 in Activista (green and political), Inspiration, environment, family, general, rural life
My families’ Earth Day 2009 pledge is to start composting and get our organic veggie garden up and growing. I’d like to keep both projects simple and easy to maintain. I know that all worthwhile endeavors take time and effort, but I would like the kids (and me) to enjoy and look forward to working in our little veggie garden and creating rich soil from scraps and clippings. I’m going to take pictures and share our little journey here. Below are some of the resources I’ve found to get us started on our projects this weekend:
