2010!

Hopefully this year will be more bountiful than the last with blog posts about composting and things that correlate; definitely the latter half will be, once school is over and done with. But for now you get an iphone picture of my Bonsai tree from ikea and a little story to go with it.

I bought this cute little plant during one of my many trips to ikea because it was so cute with it's tiny little leaves and cute roots. To my dismay, a few days after the bonsai tree arrived to its new home, it started losing all of it's cute little leaves! Unbeknown to me, this is what bonsai trees do to accommodate to new climates. These days, a few months after I brought it home, it has more leaves than ever and keeps sprouting more! Now why is this of any relevance to composting? Because I put a little bit of the composting "juice" in all of my plants and now they smell terrible! Lesson learned: just because something is nourishing, don't let it reek up your house.
