Where I live, diapers (and anything contaminated with human or animal feces) are not allowed in the municipal compost, whether or not they say "compostable." Elements Naturals: World's First Fully Compostable Diapers |

It's beautiful, but if being eco-friendly was the goal it might have made more sense to build a smaller home. What Does LEED Platinum Look Like? Green Architect |

Catiaelizabeth, sorry I was unclear; I detach the p-trap at the sink end only. It is still connected to the rest of the line and has water in it, so sewer gasses aren't an issue. Dishwashing Do: Turning the Faucet Off |

I took the p-trap out of my sink and use a 5-gallon bucket to catch the greywater, which I use for watering fruit trees. I just have to remember to empty the bucket regularly, and to reassemble the p-trap if I'm rinsing anything that might be noxious to my plants. Dishwashing Do: Turning the Faucet Off |

While I covet that range, I find the giant black range hood jarring. The open shelving area is charming, though. Before & After: An Expanding Kitchen Renovation |

I'm gen X/Y and a Master Gardener. Most of my friends garden, and I think gardening and urban homesteading are currently enjoying tremendous popularity among gen X and gen Y folks. Perhaps the "gardening industry" doesn't think there are enough gardeners in my generation because (whether from lack of money or a diy mindset) we think gardening is about growing stuff, not about buying stuff.

Ha! People tend to treat me like a freak when they find out I despise the smell of roses and lavender. I don't mind most other flowers' scents, though. Fragrance Free Flowers For People Who Don't Like The Smell Of (Most) Flowers |

This is huge for a one bedroom; I would have liked to see pictures that give a better sense of the layout. Also, why no picture of the kitchen? Luisa's 'All Mine' Abode Small Cool Contest |

I'm not a fan of Trader Joe's since pretty much everything they sell--even the produce--is pre-packaged. I can get a much wider variety of foods, including bulk grains and produce that isn't wrapped in cellophane, at Safeway. The Best and Worst Supermarkets Consumer Reports |

I love the mix of woods in the furniture, but I think having so much stuff crammed in there makes the space seem smaller than it is. Samantha's Organic Global Love Nest Small Cool Contest |

I find it odd that you consider a 150-square foot bedroom notably tiny; that's about how big the bedrooms are in most of the houses in my community. Oscar & Boots' 150 Square Foot Bedroom Kids Tour |
