Check out the www.growarow.org site where you can learn about a junior vegetable gardening & sharing initiative for children and their families – sponsored by the Garden Writers Association, Food Banks Canada and the Composting Council of Canada – Learn how you can get your kids involved in this project for the upcoming growing season simply by following the hyper-link above.

Cavendish Farms, one of North America's leading producers of potato products, have recently installed a bio-gas facility that converts solid potato waste to energy for the processing plants located on the farm site - resulting in 30% less greenhouse gas emissions produced by the farm, a reduced dependence on fossil fuel, fewer trucks to bring the fuel to the plant and the elimination of transport needs for the potato waste… and the byproduct is a natural soil amendment that reduces their reliance on fertilizers.
