giving up free time



Today a i did something iv been reluctant to do in the past, that is working unpaid for someone else.
iv always thought if your going to work you should be paid for it, after all apparently time is money.
Experiencing the giving to another was such a great feeling and i learnt a lot as well. You never know what might open up if you just share a little. :)
Thanks to Greg and Ness at Farmers Choice Organics in Myocum, im able to do some work with the little baby seedlings
Greg gave me some tips on composting and my first garden bed. I received some free soil, and comfrey to add to the compost.


comfrey enriches the compost



Book -COMPOST by Ken Thompson - somehow this book makes compost look incredible.



I also did a delivery of seedlings to Eden at Byron this afternoon so if your looking for some little organic babies to plant you can find them there and at a few other retailers or at the Byron and Bangalow markets. <3

Today i learnt about vermiculite. Iv always wondered what those little GOLD flecks are in your seedling or herb trays or attached to the bottom of you fancy lettuce. Vermiculite assists in the germination of seeds and holds moisture. There are many uses for vermiculite check it out on www.vermiculte.com.au
