• Our waste in use

  

  Finally, this year we are able to use the soil from our compost bin. Last year we used just a little of it because it wasn’t ready and we didn’t grow much of our food. This year it looks like we are going to have plenty of different kinds of tomatoes, yellow squash, and herbs.…

  Last year our garden was a catastrophe, and our first avocado tree died suddenly. I mean it wasn’t that sudden. I remember I dropped the pot and I had to replant the avocado. Since that day the tree wasn’t doing well and, it died at the end. This year my avocado looks AWESOME!!! I planted…
