Organic weeding tip for (Organic Gardeners ' Group) - 02/14/08 09:10 PM

When it comes to Planting season and the thoughts of veggies, flowers and herbs - makes me feel a lot like Tigger in photo at left!  Easy Garden Building
Use old newspapers to create a no-dig garden plot. Start by deciding the boundaries of the area chosen for the new garden. Those interested in tidy borders may want to frame the area with a garden hose while building. Next, start piling the newspapers over the plot. Pile the newspapers about 10 sheets thick and overlap them, so there are no holes for errant weeds or blades of grass to sneak through. Use … (23 comments)

Rockwood Tn. "Fighting BSL" - 02/11/08 03:32 PM
 I spent my Sunday afternoon in Rockwood, Tennessee. I volunteered to help with the "Stop Bsl" campaign held at the local walmart. You see, the thing is that several small towns across America are trying to ban specific dog breeds due to reported violence. Injustice and prejudice are the only words to describe this type of human behavior. As we all know the media has decided to target American Pitt Bull Terriers and any breeds resembling them over the past decade. The decades before this includedRototillers and before that it was Doorman's, Akita's and Alaskan malamutes or husky's. If we decide to … (13 comments)

Some of you might think there is not a candidate that is Idyllic in your opinion. I say do your research, which elector is speaking about the subjects that are important to you?

Looking for something different and exciting to do in Tennessee? Two Summer's ago I had an exciting and very remember-able experience when I took a ride on the "Missionary Ridge Local" Train ride.

Seeing the secluded back country and small towns was like going back in time. I loved it and I'm sure you will too. You might want to try these other train rides that are not to far from home.
