Guest Post – Sustainability Through the Consumption of Things Conserved
I do not have too many guest posts but I thought this topic was so interesting I couldn’t refuse. Though Dan specifically talks about purchasing more exotic foods for consumption but the very same principals can also be used when selecting species of plants to grow in your garden. “In other environmental issues we tell people to stop something, reduce their impact, reduce their damage,” – US Ecologist Gary…

Tomato plants still growing too well under LED lights
The tomatoes are taking over the grow box under the LED lights and starting to create some blossoms. Hopefully the weather gets better soon so I can finally bring these guys outside. The peppers are also growing great though haven’t outgrown their pots yet.

Congratulations to you, Ashley!
Thank you. I found out that I won after a very stressful day. It really turned my day around.
Hi! I would like to encourage people to use non-chemical fertilizers and insecticides. Insecticides are poison- they kill the beneficial insects (and birds and get into the water supply…etc) that help the soil and plants stay healthy . I make a recipe from Howard Garrett’s book, which includes molasses, seaweed fertilizer, and garlic to deter unwanted insects.
Study shows (on a pro-organic site) that organic pesticides also kill the good bugs too! (ladybugs, bees, etc.)
