<p>I took these photographs weeks ago of a chair that was created by a design student at Lund University. Does anyone know who? Let me know! I would love to speak to him/her and get the inspirations behind this piece.  It is really interesting. It reminds me of an old outdoor fireplace in my backyard that used to grow moss and weeds because no one ever used it. Maybe it could be an outdoor furniture line&#8230; like the concept of picnic-ing in the lawn? It could happen. I dig it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks Johan!</p>
<p><a href="http://krystalpersaud.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/p1000347.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-78" title="Garden" src="http://krystalpersaud.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/p1000347.jpg?w=600" alt="Garden"   /></a></p>
<p>You have to use your imagination a little bit because it is winter, but this is Johan&#8217;s wonderful garden.</p>
<p><a href="http://krystalpersaud.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/p1000342.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-79" title="leaves" src="http://krystalpersaud.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/p1000342.jpg?w=600" alt="leaves"   /></a></p>
<p>Here is Johan explaining how the leave/stick compost pile works. He was saying how in the winter it is harder to compost because it is so cold, but come spring time the materials will start to decompose faster and he will be able to use them then for his garden.</p>
<p><a href="http://krystalpersaud.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/p1000344.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-81" title="compost bins" src="http://krystalpersaud.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/p1000344.jpg?w=600" alt="compost bins"   /></a></p>
<p>Here are the two bins side by side in the corner of the garden covered by all the snow that fell in the past couple days here in Lund.</p>
<p><a href="http://krystalpersaud.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/p1000346.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-82" title="compost" src="http://krystalpersaud.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/p1000346.jpg?w=600" alt="compost"   /></a></p>
<p>So here is the organic compost bin. Johan said there should be worms in there&#8230; maybe they died because of the cold weather though&#8230; right now it is mostly soil and hay and things like that, but this is the bin where I will be putting my leftover food, onion skins, fingernail clippings&#8230; etc.</p>
