The list of what you throw in your crock (and then the outside bin) sounds just like me. Yep, egg shells and coffee grounds and the filters, apple cores and banana peelings, etc. Pretty much everything except meat scraps. It does make rich compost soil for garden beds and such. Makes you feel good too to know you are doing your part to give back to the earth. I recycle too, daily and take all the glass, cans and aluminum to our township house once a month. Our tomatoes are just now starting to ripen. I wasn't so sure we would have any at all with this drought, but watering and catching some rain water did help. We only put out 18 tomato plants this year. One year we had 83 plants, don't ask me why, I guess for some reason I lost track of how many I bought....yes, tomatoes were up the ying yang and I gave away what I didn't use. I did over 50 quarts of spaghetti sauce that year and can and froze tomatoes for soup, made salsa, and stewed tomatoes. I always share with my girls. They don't like Ragu or Prego, they are spoiled, lol<br />Susanne :)Susanne Tyreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04271812578614840958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776767262067674902.post-29990132974316045452012-07-27T20:16:33.934-07:002012-07-27T20:16:33.934-07:00Thanks Kris for the tutorials!

You are my kind of gal. I just wish I had your ambition. One thing I do enjoy like you is hanging out my wash. I love hanging clothes out to dry in the breeze. I think that there are not many left of us that do that. All my friends and kids use their dryers instead. They don't know what they are missing. We just got a pool cover too. They say great minds think alike....lol. Have a grat week. Hugs, luraGrammy Staffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02574485995391510872noreply@blogger.com
