-Luis Guerra- Attracting birds to our yards is enjoyable and educational, and has practical benefits as well.

December 15, 2015 by fifthseason Leave a Comment

This year, however, I wanted to expand to a new area of interest: homemade body products. Recently, I made bath salts, and they turned out to be fun, easy, and relatively quick to … [Read more...] about DIY Bath Salts: A Quick and Simple Gift

July 9, 2015 by fifthseason 3 Comments

What is kombucha? kom·bu·cha kômˈbo͞oCHə Kombucha is a popular effervescent fermented tea said to be full of probiotics, B vitamins, antioxidants, and much more. For me, it is reminiscent of a carbonated, slightly sour apple cider beverage.

At Fifth Season, we hear about and see all sorts of cool DIY projects, A couple years ago I came across bottle gardening, and recently I tried my hand at it. These gardens can be as simple as one bottle inverted on itself, or as elaborate as a window-sized unit with stacks of suspended bottles, linked by a drip system and all fed by submersible pumps. At this point, you might ask - why a bottle garden? Well, many people, such as those in apartments or other small living spaces, don’t have access … [Read more...] about How to make your own DIY bottle garden
