... right before a hurricane you spend a few hours digging up a large part of yard to throw cowpeas in so you don't have to mow it all summer. Then on Labor Day weekend you pick a large batch of delicious purple hulls peas. Less lawn, more food.
... you save dryer lint & add it to the food scraps to be buried in the garden to feed the soil critters. Don't worry. I don't own clothes made of synthetic materials except a few specialty items used for backpacking. No worms were poisoned in the making of this post.
