Status Updates From Lasagna Gardening: A New La...

our power went out for only 4 hours the other day but it was nice knowing i had all these solar lights i cold bring inside and they'd light up the entire house

what i need to watch for is how long they last at night, which one lasts longer

then wait a year and see how they're doing after a year

Better Homes & Gardens Color Lock Solar LED Landscape Spotlight, 150 Lumens is what i have

out of the solar power lights i bought so far better homes and garden is my fav, also most expensive at $30, but it lights up almost half the yard and is a warmer light than the Mainstays light

*Better Homes & Gardens.

2 different type of string lights I need to test out later

Dollar Tree lights are a wild card. Only 1 out of 5 I purchased worked -

I purchased a few more.

One is super bright, one is dimmer (same kind of light)

I do like the 1 that works, though. It's bright, but not too bright

That light has held up for a few hours even after cloudy, rainy days. Light is very bright, meant to light up a corner of the yard, not great for mood lighting

I know Walmart isn't cool, but it takes me 45 min to drive to Target, I have nothing else nearby except a local grocery store and a Walmart.

this is light I'm liking

So I've purchased a few solar lights for the yard. Any time I purchase something I have this urge to review.

this is notes for myself to reference back to later

haven't set these up yet, interesting to see how they perform against Walmart's Mainstay brand of solar lights, 100 lumens

These hunters in Vermont are state activists too - very political. A law Vermont passes isn't going to make them stop.

In this case this is where I respect the 'take care of it yourself' mentality

Trying to talk it out with them isn't going to work

Video taping them and posting it on the internet isn't working

Maybe long term it will help policy wise

Here it would've been nipped in the bud

He says the green twigs include nitrogen which help the wood chips break down

I had 2 leaf piles. One of them I noticed the dogs and cats were peeing in, basically for a year

I don't know if that was good or not, I was too tired to fuss at them, make them go somewhere else

That pile of leaves did break down faster than a separate pile of leaves they weren't peeing in

this guy talks about wood chips Paul used in Back to Eden -- said for the vegetables Paul was actually using imported compost from veggies

I need to finish the Back to Eden doc. The 'wood chips' Paul said he was planting seeds in sure did look like finished compost to me

this guy seems to include some nuances I like
