If you mix some of the grass clippings in with the leaves, it greatly speeds up the composting process. If you think forward to spring, you have lots of grass clippings, but very few leaves to mix in to help speed up the composting process. This fall, get some heavy-duty plastic bags and fill the bags with leaves. Store the bags near your compost pile. In the spring, you can take some of the leaves out of the bags and mix them in with the grass clippings. Add in some compost activator, and you will have a compost pile that will be humming along and producing finished compost in no time at all. ]]> http://www.newburyportnews.com/pulife/local_story_302225331.html Fri, 30 Oct 2009 00:15:00 EDT http://www.newburyportnews.com/pulife/local_story_302225331.html http://www.newburyportnews.com/pulife/local_story_302225615.html Fri, 30 Oct 2009 00:14:00 EDT http://www.newburyportnews.com/pulife/local_story_302225615.html I can still hear the echoes of children with normal mothers sing-songing the taunt at recess, dressed up as Strawberry Shortcake, cowgirls, cowboys, skeletons and Luke Skywalker as I sat off to the side in my regular street clothes, seething because my mother would not let us celebrate Halloween.]]> http://www.newburyportnews.com/pulife/local_story_302225644.html Fri, 30 Oct 2009 00:13:00 EDT http://www.newburyportnews.com/pulife/local_story_302225644.html In one study, University of Pittsburgh researchers studied 500 middle-aged women and found that those in high-stress marriages, when compared with those in low-stress and more satisfying marriages, were at greater risk for heart attacks and strokes because they were more likely to have blockages in the main artery of their hearts and in their carotid artery.
