I’ve gotta figure out how to make composting work in my life.  The amount of food discarded from my kitchen from trimmings alone could no doubt eliminate any need to purchase mulch or fertilizer again…ever.  I’m told there are simple guidelines and compact systems commercially available.  This next Call may not e interested in your food scraps, but they DO want your trash.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from Ojai Art Festival (Ojai, CA) for Discarted.  I love trash art shows, and the cash awards range from $500 to $1500.  Don’t miss this opportunity…
