So nice that you combined them. In addition to all of your 'R's, I like all of the ideas you have about learning what natives will grow in your area. You are far from 'outdated'...you are perfectly up-to-date in your thinking;-) Thank you so much for joining my project and for linking your post. Happy Earth Day to you;-)Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-51166586357207267422011-04-19T15:46:31.618+08:002011-04-19T15:46:31.618+08:00Dear friends, thank you very much for your comment...Dear friends, thank you very much for your comments, ideas, encouragement and precious support. I will always have these principles in mind for my blog/gardening plans for 2011. <br /><br />Kitchen Flavours, I hope to make a post about the flower pot method of composting soon. <br /><br />Wendy, the grasshopper became dinner for a bird while new leaves have sprouted from my tumeric plant. So the tumeric plant just had a hair-cut - it was bald for a week or so before the leaves grew back ;>)Autumn Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818422090556602092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1660561043857404056.post-43287904740189240282011-04-18T11:24:07.488+08:002011-04-18T11:24:07.488+08:00I like your R's!

Your way of making it with burnt soil is really interesting. Would it too much trouble if you could perhaps one day, show a tutorial on this in one of your post in the future? It would be most beneficial for green horn like me!
