Speaking of Explosions...

So if I want to just work peacefully outside in the garden, apparently I now have to wear a gasmask. The kids are playing on the swings as I finish putting some worm poop fertilizer -www.terracycle.net - on my tomatoes. Then it is quiet. This is not a good sign. I call for the kids, silence and then, a whoosh, slam, splash! And then the smell. My nine-year-old son just learned how to make stink bombs from a friend at school.

Gardening will never be safe again.
