The Green Update - May 2010


In the month of May we processed 751 lbs of compost in the first two weeks……WOW! And compare that to April’s total of 394 lbs and you've got some serious improvement.  Okay okay.. for those readers across the pond thats 340 kilograms!


We are getting that much closer to eliminating another weekly pick up of our garbage bin.  We are presently down from 4 times per month, to twice per month. Our current objective is to achieve only 1 garbage bin pick up per month. With this kind of success imagine not only the reduction to our carbon foot print, but the decrease in our waste disposal bill as well!

Our Edible Flowers are growing extremely well. Unfortunately last week we experienced some frost and lost a few of our basil plants. We will replant herbs that are currently potted to make up the difference.

Thats it for now! Stay tuned for the month end update shortly.
