Would like to see opinions from some of the experienced solar cookers in the Guild. The advertising claims that you don't need to redirect this cooker as the sun's path changes during daylight hours. Is there something about the design that would al…
Hi folks,
I talked to a woman named Pat who will be doing a bulk order (100+) of solar ovens for local pickup in the Phoenix area as soon as she has enough people interested. She is not retailing them or anything, just likes the product and is orga…
I've made a habit of regularly driving through back alleys right before bulk trash pickup and have picked up lots of scrap wood, rock, concrete blocks, trellises, bags of soil, fruit, potted plants in need of some nursing, compost material of course…
I'm interested! I don't know very much about quail so I'd want to start on the small side but about 4 sounds good to me - maybe you can tell me more about the different varieties? I will message you with my phone number.
Thanks!!
Jaime

Meeting Feb 1st 6:00 pm - Tempe Green Waste to Compost Pilot Program Public Meeting
Hey Tempe folks,
I got an exciting letter yesterday about a pilot program for collecting green waste and composting it. My neighborhood was selected, and I'm not sure where else but I am near Mill and University. It says that the finished compost will be used first for municipal parks and fields, and then made available to the community for home garden usage. I'm loving Tempe for this right now. It gives guide lines, it looks like collection will pretty much happen during bulk trash week, at which point we just have to keep separate piles for non-green bulk trash and green waste, at least 4' apart.
Meeting Feb 1st and 6:00pm at the Pyle Adult Recreation Center at 655 E. Southern.

Hi Jaime - it was so nice to meet you on Sunday - I hope by now you are feeling better. I also want to let you know we will not be doing a booth a green build next week. But thanks for your interest!
Hi Jaime-s I still have no info on Green build - I know we will have a booth but I do not know when or where - sorry. Very happy to have you as my aide at the DBG sunday!!
Ho Jaime - welcome to the group and the PDC. We are still pullling together the details for GreenBuild and waiting to hear from them about the booth. I will keep your email and let you know more when I do. Thanks, Doreen

Here is a link to a search tool for Mastergardeners. It will not tell you if the fruit is edible, but it does say what type of wildlife it will attract. These plants also have the benefit of being desert adapted, so you are not spending a ton of mon…
Actually there is a local company that sells them for 18.98. They are 25' with a 9" diameter. I am thinking of getting them for my school garden project. It is going to take a couple of years to turn our dirt into soil and this allows the instant gr…

Ready made raised beds, looks pretty cool but pricey. Don't know if there is a local source for them and how much just the wattles cost. They're recycling rice straw from Ca. for them now instead of burning the straw after harvest which is a good th…
