Rachel Grows Project

On a mildly related note, I'll be working on a personal project all this coming month, which I've dubbed "Rachel Grows." The goal is to get involved in urban agriculture in Vancouver, to create connections between the existing groups. I'll be documenting the project with a blog.

So, I've got an excellent reason to do my follow-up visit at the city farmer teaching garden, and check out their composting toilet. (As well as the excellent resource of composting techniques, growing how-tos etc.) Anyway, I'll be going this Friday, so if anyone wants to come along please let me know. Also, if you think of anything else that might be relevant to both projects, let me know.

City Farmer, by accident

Lorea and I were walking back to a friend's house today, and we realized that we were passing the city farmer teaching garden, which I've been dying to go to for ages! We popped inside to check it out, and were delighted to find a variety of different composting formats and even the composting toilet which I've wanted to see. I'll go back tomorrow when they're open to check it out!
