		<description><![CDATA[This How-To article shows how you can make your own seedling starter pots from newspaper!  Very cool idea.  My plastic trays are getting crumpled from continuous reuse and buying new peet pots is expensive.  I&#8217;m going to try using newspaper as described in the article.  Cheap new pots in perptuity!

		<description><![CDATA[I just read a Fortune magazine article about a farming youth movement and how young people are starting organic farms and businesses.   I find the article timely considering I just wrote an article of my own advocating backyard organic gardens.

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s time for fall planting in South Carolina.  I sowed lots of seeds in my starter trays with my eye on mid-August for transplanting outside.
I planted cantaloupe, (lots of) snow peas, swiss chard, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cucumbers, broccoli, collards, green peppers, kohlrabi, romaine lettuce, and lil&#8217; gem lettuce.
Let&#8217;s hope for nice weather, lots of sun, [...]]]></description>

The toilets separate liquids and solids, with the liquids becoming a fertilizer [...]]]></description>
