Hey all, I'm planning a great day on 2/26 to clean out the pond at my high school garden.
I'm looking for some recommendations on a bilge pump that could handle goopy stuff (what's at the bottom of my pond) and will cost around $100. Is that a simple Home Depot thing?
If any of you are interested in how to properly maintain an urban pond please come on down and help us out. We'll be learning together. If you have experience doing this and would be willing to lend some guidance (arm chair instruction is okay too!) I'd love to have you! Students and I will be hauling muck out by the bucketfull. Bring a bucket and take home some of the best fertilizer around!
We'll be at it at Arcadia High School from 10-3:30 or until it gets done.
Email me for more details.
Thanks,
Joan
"There is one, and only one, solution, and we have almost no time to try it. We must turn all our resources to repairing the natural world,and train all our young people to help. They want to.
We need to give them this last chance to create forests, soils, clean waters, clean energies, secure communities,stable regions, and to know how to do it from hands-on experience"
"...the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone.
Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter."
