MiracleGro, Organic Choice Potting MixThis week I am reviewing a product called Miracle-Gro Organic Choice Potting Mix. I paid eight dollars plus tax at the local mass merchant store. Organic Choice? Sounds pretty good right and hey, eight bucks isn't that big of a bite. So lets take a look at the packaging
This is what the product packaging looks like. Someone gets an "A" for design and again Organic Choice is sounding pretty good! But to really know what is in the bag we've got to open it up and take a look to see what we are getting for our eight bucks. While I am at it, I'm going to use a door protector as a screen to check the consistency and flow of the product.
My review of this product rates two green thumbs down. One for being obviously shredded wood debris and sphagnum and one thumb down for what I feel is deliberate deception by using the word organic on their package. Return from MiracleGro Organic Choice to Product Reviews

Bokashi Buckets
This Fall I have been working on some new raised beds for use this coming Spring. They have provided a convenient spot to put all those leaves falling off the maple tree.Earlier this year I began using Bokashi Buckets to recycle all our kitchen waste. I always thought it was a shame that I couldn't do something constructive with all the orange peels we generate in our household. Bokashi Buckets have provided a perfect solution and a great way to build soil in the raised beds all throughout the winter. Bokashi Buckets are a great alternative to composting, especially in the winter months.
