This update is beyond overdue! Unfortunately I’ve been completely sidelined, working on an important project for the last little while!
I actually ended the challenge back on August 12, which was day 31. I figured the one month mark was a good [...]
It’s been ages since I last heard anything from Patti Moreno (aka ‘Garden Girl‘), and to be totally honest I was really starting to think she’d decided not to continue with her ‘Urban Sustainable Living’ tv show idea.
Given the fact that Patti had made such a great impression on members of the green community [...]
We are certainly overdue for a TCC update. I want to make sure people don’t assume I’ve thrown in the towel!
The picture above provides a pretty good overview of the results so far. Here again are the label codes just in case you need a refresher or are just joining us:
TC - [...]
I just wanted to pop by and provide a bit of a Terracycle Challenge update for this week. We’ve (surprisingly) had a decent amount of rain since I started a little over a week ago, so today is actually the first time I’ve even had to water the plants (and since I’m going with a [...]
I just caught an interesting comment on my Water-Smart Gardening article this morning. It was from Derek Lippert, owner of ‘Naturally Maintained‘, a local landscaping company dedicated to providing environmentally friendly landscape solutions in the Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge (Tri-city) area.
Here is what Derek had to say in his comment:

Well I finally squeezed in some time for EcoSherpa this week, and my activites revolved around getting our Terracycle Challenge officially rolling.

I felt [...]

As you can see in the picture above, we are making some progress - but as you can also see, we’ve run into [...]
I’ve had an interest in ‘growing stuff’ for a number of years now, but my true passion for gardening has been cultivated (no pun intended) in the last two years, since buying our first home.
When we first moved here, creating a garden design with perennials in mind was of paramount importance to me. The property [...]
As mentioned multiple times now, this year I’m really zoning in on water conservation - both inside and outside of the house.
One of my significant water-suckers last summer was my vegetable garden. While I certainly wasn’t a crazy hose-wielding maniac like my neighbour across the street (who seems to love watering his grass, washing down [...]
As I mentioned in my update post the other day, I recently ‘adopted’ a composter.
On the weekend my wife and I were heading off in the car for some shopping when I noticed a backyard composter sitting on the edge of the curb on one of the streets in our neighbourhood. It appeared to have [...]
