by Isobel 22 May '11

22 May '11

Yes, just one more item found in a corner!!! This was hand-made by my dad in the 1940s. It is pecan wood. Needs refinishing and a little TLC and it can be a great piece. The lower cabinet is missing the back panel but otherwise is sturdy. Stands about 4' high. Asking $60. Isobel 421-362-1550

[Highland Park] Worm Compost Tea
by M. Christine Benner Dixon 22 May '11

22 May '11

My worms have been composting like pros, and I've harvested a big pile of castings for my compost tea. It's a great time to give a boost to the garden (or indoor plants), so let me know if you want to buy some of the extra. Worm compost, in case you didn't know, is one of the best natural fertilizers out there! I compost with nearly all organic food scraps, so no worries about pesticides or other weird chemicals on your food crops. The microbes in the tea are wonderful for plant health, so use it soon after you get it. If you want, the tea can be diluted from 1:1 to 1:10 (though it doesn't really have a reputation for burning plants). I'm selling it for $5 for 16 oz. or $20 for a half gallon. I have a number of half gallon containers, but if you have smaller containers, feel free to bring them. The tea should be ready on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week. Email me at m.christine.benner(a)gmail.com or give me a call 215-527-7742 if you're interested. Thanks, Christie Benner Dixon

[Highland Park] Bike Theft -- 8:48 am today
by Barb Val D 22 May '11

22 May '11

Photos attached are of thieves-in-progress taken with an iPhone. A police report was filed within 20 minutes after 911 dispatchers failed to alert the street patrol that the theft was immediate and being reported by an eyewitness. Two teens, approaching from the east on Callery Street, were seen walking down a driveway of a house located on the 900 block of Sheridan Avenue. The teens entered the unlocked man-door of a two-car garage located at the rear of the house. Within moments they exited the garage on bikes and were confronted. When confronted, the teens denied that the bikes did not belong to them and fled to the south on Jackson Street towards Highland Ave. It appeared as though the thieves were aware of the content of the garage before having entered it. Please contact Zone 5 with any information that you may have.
