A Big Thank You

A big thank you goes out to the lovely people at Firefly Kitchens for donating a huge quantity of clean cardboard, 3 clipboards and a seeding trowel to our garden. If you haven't heard of them, Firefly is a local small business that makes and sells fermented foods such as sauerkraut and kimchi. They go through a lot of cardboard boxes and were kind enough to respond to my request for cardboard on the Seattle Farm Co-op email list service. The cardboard will be put down throughout our garden and then wood chips will be placed on top of the cardboard. Putting the wood chips directly onto the grass would be a disaster for weeds so the cardboard is essential to the process.

Thanks to Firefly for the boxes, and for the delicious sample of 'kraut! You can check out the products they make in their small warehouse in Ballard at the following link, and they can be purchased at all the local Whole Foods and PCC's.
