Vermicast is back!

Vermicast will soon be for sale again! Vermicast, (a.k.a. worm poop) is an all natural fertilizer that is great for plants. We harvest our own vermicast from our worm bin, where we put all our organic food waste. Worm tea will also be for sale. Worm tea is water that has been soaked through all the levels of the worm bin. It is kind of like liquid vermicast and is also very good for plants! Both will be for sale in a few days.

Urban Garden

The blog has a new name: the Urban Garden blog! Named in honor of the business started by grades 5-6 to sell gardening supplies and plants. All earnings from sales go right back to the school garden, where they are used to buy new supplies, plants, and seeds! Soon lettuce sprouts and green onions will go on sale. Please support the school!

How much Food Waste? [Voice Thread]

August Adopt a Block 2012

Do you know about Non-Source Point pollution?

Whether you have a stream running through your backyard, business, local school or park, protecting it is a good idea. Many property owners upstream may not realize that what they do on their land impacts other residents and water quality downstream. Every day pollutants such as trash, yard waste (e.g., grass clippings, leaves, prunings, or fruits), paint, construction debris (e.g., stockpiles of soil, sand, or gravel), used motor oil, fertilizers and pesticides, and dog waste reach our urban streams. Trash on stream banks are unsightly and unsanitary for humans and wildlife. Even organic materials such as yard waste are unacceptable to dump along streams banks. When these materials get into the stream cycle, they decompose and eliminate critical, life-giving oxygen from the water. As a result, streams become unsightly and emit foul odors.
