It all began back in May 2012 when I dropped anchor at the Time’s Up Laboratory without really knowing quite what to expect, but excited all the same. The previous season’s plants were still enjoying a honeymoon in their well-constructed hanging beds; these required a bit of technical flair to have them ready for the next gardening season. What really took me by surprise were the “non-green” fungi propagation practices that were underway when I arrived. The warm welcoming experimental environment of Time’s Up helped me to rapidly get up to speed. | It all began back in May 2012 when I dropped anchor at the Time’s Up Laboratory without really knowing quite what to expect, but excited all the same.

Following orientation at Time’s Up, we began to explore, reconstruct and repair the gear that we needed for both the “green” and “non-green” gardening activities. Taking advantage of Time’s Up’s many contacts with farmers, we collected compost from all around: fertile soil, wood chips, logs, egg shells, used coffee grounds, old garbage. The trickle-down benefits of a kitchen that uses recycled and bio products also became particularly apparent in this context. | Following orientation at Time’s Up, we began to explore, reconstruct and repair the gear that we needed for both the “green” and “non-green” gardening activities.
