COMPOST RESOURCE PAGE
So many people have misconceptions about composting -- they think
that compost smells bad, that it's too much work, and that it
attracts animals. Although this can be true if composting isn't done
right, the information at this Web site will guarantee that your
compost is trouble-free. With just about every compost link on the
Web just a link away, you can't go wrong. And if that doesn't
motivate you enough, they even have poetry about compost!

NATIONAL ARBORETUM USDA HARDINESS ZONE MAP
Have you ever wondered if a plant would survive winter temperatures
in your backyard? Are friends across the country asking you for
gardening advice? Most books and magazines refer to the USDA
hardiness of a plant -- a system developed to indicate the average
annual minimum temperature (coldest winter night). The color-coded
map at this site can help you identify your hardiness zone and plant
accordingly. Notice that the maps and data are in the public domain,
so feel free to print them out or put them on your home page (just
make sure that you keep up to date!) As an added bonus the cold
hardiness of representative woody plants are listed to help make a
best guess for similar species.
