Hey Tesha — we use Tushies diapers. They’re the only disposable brand I know of that are gel-free.

I clicked on the super absorbent gel link and found that gDiapers are not recommended by cloth fans. My first baby is due in August (I got on that roller coaster!) and I thought I would use gDiapers. Guess I need to do more research. Hearing about your experiences is so helpful for a newbie like myself. Thanks! btw - I have been using my own bags for shopping for many years even for farmers markets, and drink out of metal bottles. Many a time (in the past) have I cleaned out my car and thrown away 10 or more water bottles. Oh the guilt! Growing up my parents had most of the "yard" in various garden patches and fruit trees. The front strip of lawn between the sidewalk and the street that most people had was the tomato growing area. I love gardens and have had my own over the years. Looking forward to settling in to a home and planting more than just a container garden. What do you think about gDiapers?

My husband is very passionate about getting people into doing their own edible landscaping. He started a landscaping business here two years ago with that premise and has our garden featured in a new book you might be interested in called "Edible Estates: Attack on Your Front Lawn". For the last two summers we have had plenty of potatoes, onions, and carrots to last us several months, among other things, and there just is nothing like eating organically home grown food. It is so easy to grow herbs, so I suggest anyone who doesn't already have one get started with an herb garden. <em>NoMasNinos's last blog post..<a href='http://nomasninos.blogspot.com/2008/04/pilot-and-copilot.html' rel="nofollow">Pilot and CoPilot</a></em> We have been growing our own food for a while-not all of it of course, but some.

Good work. I've been in a funk about plastic, too, today. Also read (skimmed) the Pollan article; the stuff he writes about has been on my mind for some time now. I was feeling grumpy and hopeless about growing our food under our circumstances. I have faith though that it will work out. And I am carrying bags to the store most visits; and yesterday my cousin made me yogurt from scratch (which I know how to do) so no new plastic tub. One step at a time. An electricity/internet shabbat sounds lovely. Not sure I could do it, and I know my hubby just -wouldn't. You guys do it and invite us over for tea so he can see what it's like... Brava! Beautiful.
