Today we completed the third installment in the Gardenerd Organic Gardening Series on Seed-starting, Transplants and Heirlooms, and I think this was
my favorite class so far. There's something about nursing little babies (I mean the seedlings, not the beginning gardeners) to life. We started the class with an overview of seeds -
how to store them properly, how to interpret the seed packet information, and how to test for seed viability.
Then we moved on to discuss the difference between heirlooms, open-pollinated seeds, and hybrids. It was good to review those differences, since I constantly have to look ...

Last Saturday, February 23rd, a group of new and veteran gardeners gathered in Mar Vista to discuss one thing - soil. We talked
dirty. Um - I mean, we talked about dirt. I'm talking about the Gardenerd Organic Gardening Series.
In the first class, The Basics 1, we covered all the glorious components of what makes up good soil. We played in the garden, got dirt under our nails, and learned a little about
composting to boot. Everyone took home a 1 gallon plastic bag full of spent coffee ground for their own gardens. Mary walked away with something else ...

What would make a person don gloves and a shovel to dig through a dumpster for coffee grounds? This isn't a case of being thrifty, like the nuns in my grade school who would
re-use tea bags and tissues until they disintegrated. No, I'm not making weak coffee with old filters and spent grounds here. I have bigger plans.
Coffee grounds are a highly coveted commodity both before and after they're used. Walk by any Starbucks and the lines out the door (or in the drive through) will tell the tale. It's the
"after" part that leaves most people hanging. Why ...
