[Lapg] bilge pump recommendations and 2/26 pond party invite!

[Joan Stevens]

Hey all, I'm planning a great day on 2/26 to clean out the pond at my high 
school garden.  

I'm looking for some recommendations on a bilge pump that could handle goopy 
stuff (what's at the bottom of my pond) and will cost around $100.  Is that a 
simple Home Depot thing?  


If any of you are interested in how to properly maintain an urban pond please 
come on down and help us out.  We'll be learning together.  If you have 
experience doing this and would be willing to lend some guidance (arm chair 
instruction is okay too!) I'd love to have you!  Students and I will be hauling 
muck out by the bucketfull.  Bring a bucket and take home some of the best 
fertilizer around! 

We'll be at it at Arcadia High School from 10-3:30 or until it gets done.
Email me for more details.
Thanks,
Joan



 "There is one, and only one, solution, and we have almost no time to try it. We 
must turn all our resources to repairing the natural world,and train all our 
young people to help. They want to.
We need to give them this last chance to create forests, soils, clean waters, 
clean energies, secure communities,stable regions, and to know how to do it from 
hands-on experience"
"...the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even 
if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is 
enough for everyone.
Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the 
very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and 
shelter."
