Composting Workshop

plantzHeads up, urban gardeners: Emerald Street Farm is hosting a composting workshop on Saturday at 10 a.m. Here’s the catch, if you want to attend you have to RSVP by TODAY to Alice at aedgerton [at] pennhort [dot] org or 215.988.8790. Located at Emerald and Dauphin streets, the farm is one of those neat community projects that makes you feel better about the world. Peep the before and after shots from their website:

Founded by Elissa Ruse and  Patrick Dunn in 2009, the Emerald Street Farm originally had a broken-down VW in addition to the usual amount of trash found in vacant lots in this town. Along with their neighbors, Ruse and Dunn cleaned up the space and built five raised beds, which now house all types of produce.

We reached out Ruse and Dunn to chat, but scheduling conflicts prevented a proper Q&A. Our only advice is going to the composting workshop, learning a new skill and coming back with more info about the farm itself.

The garden composting workshop sounds fun. I like how you have given the tyres a new life with a simple coat of paint, really adds character to the vegetable garden. If only you could also put in a chicken coop!

Way cool. I especially like the tires. I’m going to try this tire idea at work. If I put 15 or 20 plants along the parking lot my co workers would love it. Probably tomatoes and cucumbers.

A new secret key, if you want to achieve the perfect hair, is to seal the hair cuticle, while his hair is still hot. Dry the hair, and immediately after that, gently apply a frizz control serum. All tips for hair care are useless if the hair is not healthy. To improve your hair health, multipurpose take vitamins, especially folic acid and vitamin E.

I would also love to add when you do not actually have an insurance policy or else you do not remain in any group insurance, you may well reap the benefits of seeking aid from a health insurance agent. Self-employed or those with medical conditions commonly seek the help of an health insurance brokerage. Thanks for your short article.
