Educational Signage from the Compost Fest now here

Update 10/24 on the Compost Fest Recap:

I just got the link to all the signage from Cathy Fulton, who designed and ran the Compost Fest on 10/18. These quick-info pages are a quick How-To on hot composting, slow/cool composting, animal bedding/offal composting, chicken cultivators, bio char in trenches, hugelkulture heaps, sheet mulching (aka lasagna beds), and whipping up a batch of stinging nettle tea (not for YOU to drink—for your soil!).  All these pdfs/signs were created by Cathy Fulton. Here’s the link.

gardens on the south end of Vashon Island, on a sandy hilltop overlooking Quartermaster Harbor. "Garden On, Vashon" shares what the Island has to teach us about gardening HERE—from making soils to sowing seeds to raising plants to harvest, cooking, preserving, and designing new ways to cultivate your little chunk of Vashon Island. To contact me, email karendale@centurytel.net, or leave a comment.
