Composting will be mandatory soon for restaurants. We do it already:) It's not hard or expensive. We spend $16/week and in August we saved 206lbs from ending up in the landfill. We also are supporting a small, local, woman owned business. thecompostgroup

FUN FACT: If you have some old potatoes laying around that have begun sprouting little green legs, don't worry or run to the rubbish bin - bury them under 4 inches of soil, provide adequate water and VOILA you'll have more potatoes in a few months time!

GARDENING TIP: Stinging nettle tea can be used as a natural fungicide. On tomato plants especially, this super-liquid can be used against powdery mildew. It helps by boosting the immune systems of the plants when sprayed on the leafage (must be diluted in a 5% solution) 🌱
