Divers Who Jump In To Take The Mystery Out Of City Waterways
By NY Times
Having frequently pedaled his bike over the Gowanus Canal's bridges in Brooklyn, Ludger Batan was familar with it's sticky green tint,oil-slicked surface and rotten-egg smell. Then, one day eight years ago, he looked into the canal and saw a school of striped bass chasing minnows. Soon he was putting his diving gear and jumping in. He wanted to demystify urban waters like the Gowanus to change from environments that are ignored to those that are protected and loved.
Morning is the best time to be in the garden! Lots to do and see; plus it's quite and eatubiful!I looked at your post on your raised beds (no place to comment there), and they're awesome! You'll be gardening in those long past the time I'm replacing my redwood planters. A friend of ours did the same thing with left over blocks made something like 10 planters, but when he found out it was going to cost him over $1000 to fill them, he quit and just let them sit! Seems like such a shame. I told my husband, he would be better off filling them one at a time than just do nothing. I noticed you put plaster on the inside of your planters was that to prevent water seeping out?
