About this blog and the author
This blog is about composting with the Green Johanna. It’s also about my learning experiences with gardening, attempts at water conservation and miscellaneous musings about global climate change, politics and family life. I’m no expert in gardening or composting, but enjoy plants, gardening and the like. I don’t claim to be a master composter – far from it. I’m a beginner with (not really) enough time to write about how it’s going.
I am not affiliated with the company that makes the Johanna or anyone who sells it, so it’s my unbiased, un-influenced opinion about whether it works or not.
In addition to the progress on the Johanna, I post about the water barrel I recently got, and about global climate change. I also stumble across lots of fun gardening ideas, which I post from time to time.
This is the third growning season for me since I put together my own raised beds, so I also post about what I’m learning about what grows where.
While compost isn’t political, climate change has been politicized, so I occasionally forget my better senses and rant a little. I also post things that are helpful to gardeners and others who are interested in composting.
I’m married, have 2 young daughters, work part time as a consultant. We’re a busy, happy family. My preferred gardening method is square foot gardening, and started sprouting plants from seed last year. In addition to my home garden, I am working on a gardening project for my family’s village in Samoa. I recently visited and saw the wonderful organic garden that my cousin, Ianeta, planted this year. This, she did while pregnant. Amazing woman!
