I’ve been slowly raking the live oak leaves as they fall, because I know my compost pile won’t see a bounty of browns like this until later this year. Having Spring-molting trees like live oaks gives Lowcountry composters like us a definite advantage, making it easier to maintain the proper chemical balance while our garden […]

Earlier this year, I blogged about the Certified South Carolina Grown program that had just kicked off. It seems like a great way to help greenies like myself find and identify locally grown food. The problem is, I have yet to see one of these stickers out in the wild.

A sustainable building is a great way to show off green technologies and […]

Just like the rest of the green nation, I’m trying to figure out how to buy local produce. But it’s so hard to tell what comes from where. Finally, help’s on the way.
As covered by the Post & Courier, the state has just launched the Certified South Carolina Grown program to help consumers […]
