Lasagna Gardening: A New Layering System for Bountiful Gardens: No Digging, No Tilling, No Weeding, No Kidding!

First to recommend

Description

No, you won't be making gardens out of pasta, cheese & tomato sauce, but you WILL learn to layer a garden with ease. The author had land in the Catskills - like me! - and so she gave up on digging - because every time you dig you hit a rock. Instead, she builds beds with vegetable scraps, ashes, spoiled hay, etc., and plants the same day. A quick way to transform a ratty, tough piece of ground into a bountiful garden. Also, she gives specific info on how to grow various vegetables and flowers -- very helpful. Always, she's choosing the speediest, easiest way to accomplish the goal. I've tried her methods and they all work beautifully.

Gardening When It Counts: Growing Food in Hard Times (Mother Earth News Wiser Living Series)

First to recommend

Description

So if the doomsayers are right, what's the fashionista to do who hasn't a clue about growing her own food? This book claims to be for the reader with no experience, and to require small inputs of time & water. Question, though. How do you grow tiramisu?

The Party's Over: Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies

First to recommend

Description

LATOC - Life after the oil crisis. Out of the 3 books I read on the subject, this is the most accessible and rational. "Beyond Oil" is by a geologist, also very good. And if you prefer thrills and chills, read "The Long Emergency."

Smart Strip Power Strip w/ Fax & Modem Protection - LCG4

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 75% of all the electricity consumed in the home is standby power used to keep electronics running when those TVs, DVRs, computers, monitors and stereos are "off." The average desktop computer, not including the monitor, consumes from 60 to 250 watts a day. Compared with a machine left on 24/7, a computer that is in use four hours a day and turned off the rest of the time would save you about $70 a year. The carbon impact would be even greater. Shutting it off would reduce the machine's CO2 emissions 83%, to just 63 kg a year.

Fire and Light Dinnerware

6 people recommended this item

Description

These recycled-glass plates come in so many pretty jewel-toned colors that I can’t pick a favorite. I’d love to mix and match them on the dining room table for an eclectic feel.
