This summer my family made a conscious effort to save money and be more environmentally friendly. In order to do so we have decided to plant a garden in our back yard to make use of a lot of unused land. In doing so we have saved money on groceries and reduced the amount of organic waste we throw away by composting it. In this "Journal" I will recap this summer in a few short posts and once I have caught up I will continue to keep track of our "farm".
