The intention of this event is to encourage seed saving and plant propagation, thereby strengthening the resilience of our local community. While bringing seeds and/or plants to the event is encouraged, we also want to welcome new gardeners to use this event as a resource to get started. For this reason, we will be accepting seed donations ahead of time to ensure a good variety for those who do not yet have seed saved to contribute. To donate seed in advance: 1.) Label your seeds with the following information: name of plant, Latin name C omposting is an eco-friendly activity that can also save homeowners money on fertilizer and pesticides. Organic material that can be added to soil to help plants grow, compost reduces the amount of waste that would otherwise end up in landfi lls, reducing the amount of methane gas that such landfi lls produce. But the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that not everything can be added to compost piles. The following are some items homeowners should not add to their compost piles or bins, courtesy of the EPA. Black walnut tree leaves or twigs: Leaves or twigs from black walnut release substances that might prove harmful to plants. Coal or charcoal ash: Coal or ash from charcoal, such as the ash that builds up in the bottom of charcoal grills, may contain substances that are harmful to plants. Dairy products: When added to compost piles, dairy products, including butter, milk, sour cream, yogurt and eggs, can be malodorous and may attract pests, including rodents and fl ies. Diseased or insect-ridden plants: The diseases and insects that plague plants may survive being transferred to compost piles. When the compost is ultimately distributed, these diseases and insects might then plague other plants. Things to avoid when composting Fats, grease, lard, or oils: Fats, grease, lard or oils also may attract rodents and fl ies, and that might be due to the unpleasant odors such substances can produce when added to compost piles. Meat or fi sh bones and scraps: Like fats, grease, lard or oils, scraps from meat and fi sh and fi sh bones can smell unpleasant, potentially attracting rodents and fl ies. Pet waste: Pet waste, including soiled cat litter, may contain parasites, bacteria, germs, pathogens, and viruses that can be harmful. Grass trimmings treated with chemical pesticides: Trimmings from grass that was treated with chemical pesticides can negate the effects of composting by killing benefi cial organisms produced within compost piles or bins. (if available), year seed was harvested, story about the seed or where it came from, and planting instructions. 2.) In order to honor plant diversity and small farms, we ask that you please DO NOT bring GMO seed to share. To honor native ecosystems, please DO NOT bring exotic, invasive plants to share. 3.) The Compost Collective will be accepting seed & plant donations for the swap before April 14th... on Saturdays, 3/24 & 3/31 from 10am until 11am at the Foothills Farmers' Market, and again on Saturday, 4/7 from 8am until 12pm at the Market.

Submitted by Stacey Costner & Bambi Myers O ne of the best parts of backyard living in the warmer months is all the potential for bird watching that comes with it. You may have even installed a birdfeeder in your garden in an attempt to attract more birds to your property. But did you know, your home poses dangerous risks to the birds that visit your yard and garden? Window strikes are common among many species of migrating birds, and millions of wild birds are killed annually fl ying into windows. Whether you are an avid amateur ornithologist or just a casual observer of feathered friends in fl ight, by taking precautions your home need not be part of the problem. Take advantage of the fact that birds can see certain light frequencies that humans cannot to make windows visible to birds in a way that won't obstruct your own view. Doing so can be a simple Protect birds... home project completed in just an afternoon. Try applying UV decals and UV liquid to your home's windows and sliding glass doors. Those from WindowAlert, for example, have been proven to effectively alter the fl ight path of birds to prevent window strikes. While the coating will look like etched glass to the human eye, it will look very visible to a bird. As UV refl ectivity may fade over time, it's important to replace the decals and liquid every four months. Application techniques can be found by visiting WindowAlert.com. fl owers that provide birds with nourishment and shelter, as well as paying attention to pet cats when they are outdoors, to ensure they don't hunt the birds that visit.
