Grow in the city! North Brooklyn Compost Project


Posted: April 6th, 2009 | Author: raven burgos | Filed under: Apartment Gardening, Brooklyn, Craft, DIY, Famous Friends, Get FED, Locally Made | Tags: , , , , | No Comments »


Compost


Environmental Queen Kate Zidar ( rhymes with spider) recently shared her ideas on how to become an urban farmer


1

Find your local community garden through Green Thumb
(www.greenthumbnyc.org). “Ask what you can do for the garden first and
then you can learn what the garden can do for you and your pocketbook,”
said Zidar.
2
Grow you own food in a window box. Zidar suggests basil and tomato (if
you get enough light). “Get a little bit of compost and a little bit of
dirt. Put it in a coffee jar and use wire to suspend it from the
window,” she said.
3 Take a compost class. Zidar runs the North Brooklyn Compost Project and teaches New Yorkers how to make their own worm bins to recycle fruit and veggie scraps."

Preview

 I almost started a  Literary magazine last winter, despite by terrible grammar ( oh im aware) i remember the hassle of finding a publisher, oh how I wish we had found this nifty sire. you can self publish you own for as little as 20 cents a page.

"Aspiring publishers must handle their own writing and design work,
sending a PDF file of their creation over the Internet to the MagCloud
repository. H.P. farms out the printing jobs to partners scattered
around the globe and takes care of billing and shipping for people who
order the magazine. While H.P. charges the magazine publishers 20 cents
a page, they can charge whatever they like for the completed product."

How to: Dice an Onion Without Losing a Finger


Posted: April 6th, 2009 | Author: raven burgos | Filed under: Food and Drink, How to | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , | No Comments »


Onion

I hate cutting onions, as soon as they are chopped I out them in an air tight container and dispense as needed, i still end up with sloppy chinks and tons of tears that last for days. Heres the first instruction from this tutorial and i already see how im doing it all wrong. I totally cut off the end, ugh

"step 1Slice off the top Slice off the top of the onion–do not cut off the root end!"
