Grow Boxes

After district meeting today the Paddocks came over and Lily and Sister Paddock went and got hair cut and Elder and I went with the missionaries to a teaching appointment. Afterwards we visited for awhile and talked about an idea he has for helping members grow food in grow boxes. They just build a box and then use sand and sawdust for soil and then he has a fertilizer mix he uses for feeding the plants. He used to do the same thing back in Florida and says it works really well. The trick here is finding the chemicals here that we need for the fertilizer and then if we find it will it be too expensive to work. The welfare office has some initiatives already going in this endeavor and are interested in what we can come up with. So we made some plans to look into it some more and see what comes of it. We are hopeful that we could help some of these families grow at least some of their own food and maybe even augment their income.
