Finally, a break in the dreary weather allows us some time to do a few outdoor tasks. It is time to get tools ready, do early pruning, clean up garden beds and more.
While all of those tasks begin, we are still moving forward with speaking events and course building.
Mark your calendars for the first Mercantile opening of the season on March 7, 2020. We will be open from 10:00AM – 2:00PM. Looking ahead, our 2nd Annual Spring Fling will be April 18, 2020.
Keep coming back, it’s going to get interesting!
On this episode we discuss using shredded paper in the compost pile.
As part of our ongoing effort to declutter and organize, we have sorted and cleaned out old financial records. Some of the records went back 10 years plus. After sorting out the colored and glossy papers, the rest were sent through the cross cut shredder.
The resulting bags of minced paper pieces will be composted or used in the bottom of transplant pots.

As we have discussed on prior episodes, we are undertaking a major decluttering of the house.
This week was the basement and we share our feelings about that accomplishment.
Don’t forget to check out more about the farm on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Until next time.
Even though the Mercantile is closed during January and February, we are still quite busy.
Both of us continue our decluttering work, this time it is the basement. We have a lot of work to do there. Donating, trashing, storing and cleaning as well as finishing the ceiling in the pantry. Even though this can be tiring and hard work, it is satisfying.
If you are interested in more about getting out of the food rut, you can read more about it in this blog post.
As always, you can keep up with our progress on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Until next time….
