TGoG Podcast 078 – Suburban Food Farm in August

August 20, 2014 @ 21:34 By Gavin Webber 5 Comments

The Greening of Gavin Podcast

This episode is a roundup of what is growing well, what isn’t, and what I am planning on planting for spring in a few weeks time on my Suburban Food Farm.

[spp-player]

During the show I talk about the following items;

  • Curly Kale Chips
  • Veg Trug
  • African Horned Melon

Also, a funny thing happened today when I went to harvest some winter potatoes which I talk about during the episode.

I noticed that there seemed to a cabbage missing from the patch.  After getting enough spuds for dinner, I asked Kim if she picked it, as it was nearly ready to harvest.  We were both surprised to find that the cabbage had been taken by persons unknown, who obviously likes cabbage more than we do 🙁

This is the only down side that I can see to growing produce in the front yard.  We are so far away from it, didn’t hear the intruder stealth the cabbage away!

Not to worry, we still have six more sugarloaf cabbages, and six purple cabbages that are only a few weeks away from harvesting.  We will struggle to eat that lot anyway.

Anyway, have a listen to the show and I hope you get some benefit from some of the tips I share along the way.


If you enjoyed the podcast, please pop over to iTunes and rate it and leave a review. You can also do the same within Stitcher Radio if you use that service.  It would help me out so much, and elevate the ratings so that others can find out about the podcast and learn about sustainable living in the ‘burbs.

You can subscribe to the show via RSS or iTunes or Stitcher for your portable device.  Just use the subscription buttons below.

The Great Kilowatt Challenge eBook – On Sale!

August 19, 2014 @ 23:04 By Gavin Webber 4 Comments

A year in the writing, The Great Kilowatt Challenge eBook and companion worksheet are now available for purchase at my eBookstore!

Here is the book blurb;

The Great Kilowatt Challenge

The Great Kilowatt Challenge eBook

The Step by Step Guide to $aving Easy Money off Your Power Bills

Want to save some easy money off your power bill, but you don’t know where to start?

Are you sick of paying a small fortune on seemingly ever rising  electricity costs?

Do you want to take back control?

Well you can right now!  The Great Kilowatt Challenge is an eBook and worksheet designed to help you get control of your electricity consumption and lower that bill.

The step by step four week challenge will help you gain a better understanding of how to determine which appliances and behaviours within your home are costing you the most money, and how to turn that around back in your favour.

The companion worksheet is available as downloadable content within the ebook.

This comprehensive eBook is exclusive to The Greening of Gavin readers only.  You will not find this excellent guide anywhere else on the web or at other ebook retailers until a few months time.

Get it before you receive your next electricity bill.  You won’t regret it!

For more information about what the ebook offers, head on over to ebookstore.

 


A big shout out goes to Pam for proof reading it, and to all the beta testers who participated in the very first Great Kilowatt Challenge in 2011.

From that original and successful series of blog posts came the idea for the eBook where it saved many readers a lot of money off their power bills.

The worksheet, which is found as a link within the eBook, has full instructions for entering your meter data, and assists in automatically calculating your daily electricity usage and cost.  It couldn’t be any easier than that.

I have also included a weekly feedback option within the eBook where the challenge participants can share their results and ask further questions if needs be.  I don’t expect that everyone will share, but the option is there if you want it.

Anyway, thanks for being patient with me while I put this eBook together.  It is well worth the wait!
