With the weather in the midst of a much needed warm-up trend, the focus for many turns to the outdoors — to yards and gardens. Come to our Green Living Expo on Saturday, April 26th, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to learn about tips, tools and resources you can use to create a more sustainable outdoor environment. Here’s some of what you’ll find:
- E-mow
EcoMow, is a small self-fueled mower and grass pellet harvester. It uses the grassy biomass that it harvests as fuel, and processes the biomass that it does not use into a dried pellet form which can be used for other applications such as heating or power generation. This cutting edge technology is the design of a group of engineers and business students from George Mason University. - Organic Edible Gardens LLC
