One similar initiative was the "Clean Up Sydney Harbour" day which the next year became (if I remember correctly) Clean up Australia Day and then gradually became Clean up the World weekend. This year it's 19-21 September. (You can Google it for more info about what's happening where you are.)But it just shows that little local initiatives can become really important.Sue Swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053188212601918182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-17049756692495708042008-03-25T07:03:00.000-04:002008-03-25T07:03:00.000-04:00Hi Edwin,I build my Raised Garden Beds myself from...Hi Edwin,<BR/>I build my <A HREF="http://www.thecompostbin.com/2006/03/raised-garden-beds.html" REL="nofollow" TITLE="raised garden beds">Raised Garden Beds</A> myself from non-pressure treated wood. <BR/><BR/>Send me an email and I can answer the other questions for you privately.<BR/>compostman at gmail dot comAnthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836531596317603886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-60760087869948212962008-03-24T16:05:00.000-04:002008-03-24T16:05:00.000-04:00saw your blog, and noticed you said you are in Nor...saw your blog, and noticed you said you are in Northern NJ too, also noticed you have some raised beds. Did you make them yourself? Or did you hire a landscaping company? I'm looking for a landscaping company in our area to deliver compost and field stones so I can make a raised bed (I don't want to drive back and forth from Home Depot constantly to haul stuff).<BR/><BR/>I am going to be doing composting (with gardening it doesn't really make sense not to), but right now I need like 5 cubic yard of compost and fieldstones for a good-looking and easy-to-construct bed.<BR/><BR/>Also, where in Northern NJ do you live? We could trade seed, scions, cuttings, etc if needed. Do you go on GardenWeb?<BR/><BR/>I live right next Closter's MacBain farm, which is this garden thing they set up where all residents of Closter can collect a little bucket of produce per day for free.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-17289479501458970142008-03-24T10:15:00.000-04:002008-03-24T10:15:00.000-04:00Glad to see everyone planning on shutting down for...Glad to see everyone planning on shutting down for an hour. :)<BR/><BR/>Kate,<BR/>The peppers that I Twittered about may just be sun dried red peppers that were stored in oil.
