The Obligatory First Post March 28, 2007

I have a small backyard garden (also a Backyard Wildlife Habitat) in Oak Park, Illinois, USA. I am only a short distance from the shoreline of historic Lake Chicago and the continental divide between the Great Lakes watershed and the Mississippi river watershed. I’m enough of a science geek to think this is really cool, even if it does mean that the soil I’m dealing with is solid clay!
