Hey Jill,
Are you coming to the demo village meeting tomorrow (Thursday) evening?
Hi Jill,
My e-mail is jana.ronne@gmail.com.
last spring when i started to prepare my garden i discovered that a pile of leaves i had raked from my neighborhood was full of lovely worms and so i happily dug them into my garden along with alternating layer of grass clipping and discard green leaves from the grocery grew fantastic pole beans,cherry tomatoes and squash Have bought a box of heavy duty black plastic contractors bags, have two big plastic shovels and a few rakes, if you would like to spend some happy hours raking up leaves with the kids and making a big pile to compost ,would you bring cups and a thermos of hot cocoa,rsvp
Hi Jill!
Thanks for your comment. Yes I'd love to chat! I too wish we still walked barefoot on the earth - I do as often as I can.
