program is one I’m really coming to like. You can order whatever they have and decide how often to get it.
For example, I get a case of Kleenex (we have allergies) every six months. They send an email before they […]
I just ran across an interesting site called Window Farms. The idea is to use the light and space of a vertical window to raise food plants in:
Their blog is quite fun to read, and gave me some ideas about what to do with a couple of windows in my house.
The one thing depleting faster than oil is the credibility of those measuring it
