I had been planning to write at least a post a day, with more content than what Jack’s diapers are looking like these days. Yesterday … yeah, that didn’t work so well.
In between being pinched by Mr. Pinchy and thwarting his efforts to eat cat vomit, I started looking into composters and raised garden beds. And cheesemaking. But mostly it was gardening stuff, even though we still have a foot of snow on the ground and it still gets below freezing at night. In particular, I was looking at this lovely contraption, which also has slots for a cold frame. Obviously living in the northeast, that cold frame seems like a mighty fine idea.
As for composters, the choices are legion. Build ourselves? Do I want to be a red worm wrangler? How about the plug-in composter?
Does anyone have recommendations or suggestions as to what works for them? Keep in mind we also have a chipmunk problem… as in dozens of chipmunks, everywhere. We will have to chipmunk- and mole-proof our raised beds with wire mesh underneath, so nothing can get through the bottom and munch on the carrots. Gah!
