I probably picked this up from Martha Stewart, but it has to be one of my favorite ways to clean a number of surfaces. What is it? A mixture of distilled white vinegar and water. I keep it in a spray bottle used just for this purpose and use it just like any other spray [...]

This weekend I finally did it. I gave my green thumb a shot, and in the process my hands acquired a lovely shade of dirt brown. It really didn’t take much time, but I spread the process out over the whole weekend. On Saturday, Ricky and I hit up the Anne Arundel County Farmers Co [...] Spotted this in the trash can today.

Ten rags, essentially, for about $2.50. Cost of [...] A couple days ago I started a compost pile outside in an old trash can.
