What I meant, actually, was that the food is more traceable to the source, whether it’s contaminated or not. Anything can be contaminated, the question is really how easily can a tainted product be isolated within the...

The jfoods get major demerits on this one. We do not compost, we do not spread on ppalnts and have >50 rhodys and azaleas, we place down the drain, put on the cold water and then the disposal. The the grinds go straight to the...

plants but always mulch the veggie beds with a good 2" layer of compost. The rest of the gardens gets leaf litter or fine bark.

I am looking for a unique venue to throw a 30th birthday party for my wife. The ideal place has outdoor and indoor accomodations and can easily accomodate up to 50 guests. I would consider bringing in a caterer or working...

We never put anything down the garbage disposal. We are on a septic system but even if we were hooked up to a sewer we have a compost pile that everything, coffee grounds, egg shells, etc goes into, except meat scraps which go to...

Hardwood chunks would work, but the same caveats as charcoal, ie not indoors without a apecialized vent system. You’d have to burn it down to embers to get adequate heat anyway, so I’d just avoid the wait and use...

. Another point – Last year’s garden was in lasagna beds built of layers of fresh grass, old leaves with a bottom layer of wet newspapers on old sod in 2007. In spring, 2008, we topped the beds with composted horse...

Uf. Most of that went over my head. Would that system work in rather small raised beds that were filled with compost, top soil and steer manure (several years ago)? I have 2 and they are about 7 feet long and 3 feet wide.

appreciate the compostible cups that the Drunken Monkey packages its drinks in. But, there are certain details (some small) that I think are being missed. First the biggest one, I have ordered some wonderful snacks, and some that...

and the token system etc, but for me it’s worth it. If the weather is nice, it’s a very enjoyable way to spend the day. http://www.tastefestivals.com/london/ BBC Good Food Show is much the same but indoors. Equally fun...
