But we decided that this spring was so dry, we needed to catch the kitchen waste-water to help with the garden. So he put a bucket under the grey-water discharge, caught the dish-water and applied it to the seedlings. It took three days for them to keel right over, poor things.<br />I want to tell you folks about our Transition Town initiative. It is called Transition County. It involves communities of people helping each other to deal with the effects of Global Climate Change and (more importantly) Peak oil. Our website is so new that I actually recommend you view the rather-good www.transitiontownpeterborough.ca for more info. Our site is www.transitionpec.com .I hope you can have a look. We are trying to get one going in Belleville area, but are having a hard time finding the right people.
