Building a more resilient and self-reliant community. Time for a Soil Test. When you’ve been a vegetarian for 40 years you get all sorts of questions. One of them is, “Does it bother you if I eat this? Recently the island had its version of a brouhaha over food what style of food might be served at the local cafe, its price and whether or not the cafe’s business plan was right for the island. Feelings run strong on the subject of food. Is a bit more newsy than. But Bourdain is a writer with talent and, l...

Building a more resilient and self-reliant community. The process is pretty easy. You can slice the cabbage using a knife although we use a Cuisinart to speed things up. It helps to break up the cabbage fibers to help release liquid. A potato masher works well. And, you need something to put the sliced cabbage in like a crock or a jar. Here’s the process in a series of photos. Harvest a bunch of cabbages. Pound the fibers and salt. Cover with cabbage leaves. Place stones and cover with water.

What goes down, must come up: November 2009

http://wgdmcu.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

What goes down, must come up. A food and gardening blog. Friday, November 20, 2009. I think I'm definitely hooked, although I can't possibly contemplate buying all the equipment yet - maybe in 2-3 years. I did get a copy of 'Begin To Keep Bees' from Franklin Carrier. The local (San Jose) beekeeping guru, and it's fascinating reading. And, thanks to the magic of Google, I've discovered the Mt. Baker Beekeepers. Only time will tell. Sunday, November 8, 2009. I just completed the 3-day workshop. I haven't e...

http://transitionlummiisland.com/talking-to-the-bees

Building a more resilient and self-reliant community. Time for a Soil Test. Talking to the Bees. I’ve had very poor luck (but a good experience) trying to be a beekeeper. In three seasons I bought three packages of bees, caught two swarms and once got two hives through the winter. In the end, I lost them all for various reasons (weak hive, inadequate population, yellow jacket attack, robbing, poor management).
