A story on BuffaloRising.com says it all.

A new socially and environmentally conscious movement is sweeping the nation. The movement is not made up of ‘eco-geeks’ who practice hypermiling or promote alternative energy sources. Instead, it’s a group of citizens who are taking city matters into their own hands.

I think it is trendy to be green, but I also belive being green is talked about more than it is practiced..  Has anyone else noticed this???

Did you know that not all the hydrangeas will change color? It is usually the pink and blue hydrangeas that can have their flowers change color, depending on the soil’s acid levels.  However, the white or red hydrangeas will not.

I read the most interesting post on Takoma Gardener today..

THE TRUTH ABOUT ORGANIC FERTILIZERS There’s lots of confusion nowadays about “chemical’ versus “organic” fertilizers but really, they’re all chemicals, so the correct distinction is between organic and synthetic. Organic fertilizers break down slowly, so they last longer in the soil than synthetics, but don’t produce an instant “greening up” effect. They also require much larger quantities than synthetics to yield the same amount of each nutrient, and they’re more expensive. It’s those quick and cheap qualities of synthetic fertilizers - plus large advertising budgets on their behalf - that account for their popularity.

I highly recommend checking it out.  There is a big difference.  Not all chemical’s are bad!
