Ask Mavis: A New Theme Song, Winter Gardening Help, A Year’s Worth of Food Waste and More

It’s that time again. You ask, and I pretend to know things and answer your burning questions. It really is so much fun to open my inbox and see the wide variety of questions you guys have. Reminds me that my readers are so diverse and pretty dang awesome. So keep those questions coming and I’ll keep racking my brain for answers. As always, please pipe up if you have any input or are knowledgeable when it comes to any of the following questions:

Mavis – HELP! I’m tired of my rubber boots cracking after a year or two. What boots are you using out in the garden these days, or for some good puddle jumping? Thank you!

Hunter boots. End of discussion. Best investment ever. The HH and I both own a pair {we bought them back in 2003}. We’ve never had a single issue with them and I highly recommend them to EVERYONE! Hunter for the win.

 

Theme song 😉

Julie, you are the coolest! Dig For Your Dinner is certainly in need of a theme song and this is PERFECT. Thanks so much for sharing. Now to round up enough friends and put together a music video…

I was telling my friend about how you posted a picture a long time ago that showed in one picture how much Americans waste each year. I want to show it to her because its shocking but I can’t find the post. Mind sharing it again. Probably other people need to see it again, too.

That post, How Much Does the Average American Throw Away in One Year continues to be one of the most disturbing posts I’ve ever done. I knew food waste was an issue in our country and it’s a huge pet peeve of mine. But to see the average amount all in one place was mind blowing. And terribly sad. It made me renew my vow to fight food waste, especially in my own home!

Have a question for me? Submit them HERE and I’ll try to answer them.
