Yep, Dairy products such as yogurt and even most cheeses are really hard, but can be made at home to some degree. I made yogurt for the first time since the '70's a few days ago. It didn't go all that well. But, I made some really good yogurt chee...

Disappointment in Copenhagen Adds to my Resolve

I am sure i am not alone in my disappointment in the news this week about Copenhagen.

Just think how foolish gove… Continue

Sodbusting Saturdays

Sodbusting Saturdays is one way to quickly convert an unwanted patch of lawn into a productive garden. What you grow as an alternative to lawn is your choice; anything would be an improvement over grass. You might be considering this as a way to add more native plantings or start a vegetable garden. Either planting option will be a great improvement for the environment.
While it is true that you don't have to cut and remove the sod to successfully convert lawn to planting beds, there are a few a… Continue
