My sister Alex

Today I went to my Sisters who lives in Everett. We have been talking about doing some yard work at her place all summer and now that its almost November, we finally decided to do it! We weeded her garden and even made some lasagna boxes! If you're wondering, lasagna boxes are compost-like boxes that you add a layer of compost then newspaper, then yard clippings and more newspaper. Next, a layer of rich bark and leaves and then another layer of newspaper, etc... You keep building up the layers until it reaches just over the top of the box. Then you put plastic over the whole thing and let it sit. The layers will heat up and break down over the winter and be fresh, rich soil to plant in the spring. It was a lot of fun to learn how to do this and help out my sis!







When we were done we went in and ate some pot roast tacos that she created! The were soooo awesome. I'll defiantly be making these again! Thank you Alex for a fun day!
