Tree tuesday....

well not quite 'tree' but plant .... bamboo... i guess it's a kinda tree... the big ones anyways!!

found a link thats interesting... how they make bamboo for flooring .... Part 1 and Part 2 which may make you think twice about using it... there are pros and cons to everything aren't there ....

i was looking around at other blogs ( you know how it goes.... find one site and wander down the internet byways) and found a few Green blogs that are interesting... Fake Plastic Fish is a great site.. lots of info on plastic and how not to have so much... ReadyMade which is a McGiver kinda mag/blog... they have contests and all sorts of things... basically it's using up and recycling 'whathaveyous' that are lurking in the corners of every household :D ... well maybe not everyones... but definately mine!! i'm a product of parents of the depression era... everything counted and almost everything was reused until it couldn't be used anymore....

am getting ready... (as i sit here on my puter :D ) to migrate back north... i heard more canada geese this morning... spring must be coming north too.... garden time... i'm hoping that i can get my grandson to participate in some building projects... i saw a project in Mother Earth, for solar heating, using soda cans.... and i think that it could well be a great way to heat my garden... normally i use Remay or garden cloth to cover my rows... and yes i'd still use it.. but sometimes its not enough to keep it warm at night.... they claim that it's only good for 2 seasons, but i've been using the same pieces for 5 yrs...
