Yesterday I came home and was ecstatic to find my Gourmet Oyster Mushroom kit had arrived from Funghi Perfecti!
Funghi Perfecti, the company founded by a genius mycologist I’ve recently discovered , Paul Stamets, proudly purports to be “the leaders in a new wave of technologies harnessing the inherent power of mushrooms and fungal mycelium worldwide.” [...]]]></description>

Farm Apartment&#8217;s Rainwater-Collection System
Step One: Place pot on porch.
Step Two: Let it rain.
Step Three: You&#8217;ve got a bucket of rainwater now.  Let your imaginations go wild!
After a four year drought in California, no one should underestimate the value of all this water falling from the sky.  Rainwater is free of cost, chlorine, pesticides and other [...]]]></description>

Ever since learning that food scraps in landfills actually turn into methane gas &#8211; one of the leading pollutants responsible for global warming &#8211; I’ve been on a tear to figure out how to compost in my apartment.
My research pointed to one answer, and a most unfortunate new word: vermicomposting. I have to say, I [...]]]></description>

It has been done!  On Saturday my husband Joshua and I drove over to our yard-share, a.k.a Purdue Avenue Farms, and put shovel to lawn.  A few hours later, we had our very first garden bed.  Coming in at  70 square feet (15’ x 5’), it should give us a pretty nice yield.
If you’d like [...]]]></description>

All of my investigations into organic fertilizer have led to a single consensus: worm castings are the shit.  Rich in nutrients and microbeasties, many people believe that it is the best amendment a soil could hope for.
Realizing that this organic garden gold could produce miracles in the clay soil of my yard-share, I had a [...]]]></description>

My gardening horizons have once again been expanded.  On Saturday, I got up early and went to a class on Biodynamic Composting I heard about through Sustainable Works.  As I’d just bought my worm composter from the City Of Santa Monica, I thought this was great timing.  In my horticultural naievete, I assumed “biodynamic” simply [...]]]></description>

For those of you who slept in on Saturday morning, you can copy my notes from the Environment Change-Makers&#8217; class on how to start seedlings here.
How To Select Seeds:

• Open Pollinated Seeds
Avoid
• GMO’s
• Hybrid Seeds – [...]]]></description>

On Saturday morning a group of about 15 folks gathered in the community room of the very groovy Holy Nativity Episcopal Church in Westchester for a free, 90-minute, information-packed class on how to plant seeds. What I learned about starting seedlings was a lot. I could hardly believe my luck.
The class was taught by writer, [...]]]></description>
