Here I post about what’s new and good in organic and sustainable gardening practices, and great-performing, low-care plants. Also stories about my garden, news in ecogardening, and my adventures in the trenches of Washington, D.C. or farther afield. And occasionally I’ll go off-topic altogether, especially in winter. (See categories My Life, Culture, Nature, People/Media and Local.) A gardener’s gotta have a life.
My role models for teaching sustainable gardening are gardenwriter Ann Lovejoy, Washington State hort researcher Linda Chalker-Scott and television’s Paul James of “Gardening by the Yard.” Oh, and Paul Tukey of SafeLawns.org fame. More will be discovered over time, I’m sure.
Urban gardening is a topic I added in 2009, and that means covering urban gardening projects, as well as container and balcony gardening, backyard-sharing, the White House Kitchen Garden, and really anything I think is important to cover! It’s all good.
Affiliate agreements
The only source of income here is the occasional link to a company with whom I have an Affiliate Agreement contract – primarily Amazon. So the few times I recommend a book, I’ll include a link to its page on Amazon and if you buy one using the link, Amazon pays me 8 percent. I rarely recommend anything because honestly, I’m not much of a shopper myself.
Income sources not used on this blog
Notice any Google Adsense ads cluttering up the place? Also, I don’t do link exchanges, or take payment for links. Don’t ask.
