Top 100 trends for 2010
Had enough of Top 10 stories?
How about Top 100?
J. Walter Thompson's director of trendspotting, Ann Mack, has released her list of 100 Things to Watch in 2010. They include the return of the water fountain, cordless power, dry shampoo, 3D at home, electric cars, the Lost eason finale and organic fast food.Also on the list are these garden trends:
Composting: She predicts municipalities will get into it, along with more homeowners.
Gray water recycling: as more and more communities face water shortages, bathtub, dishwashing and other household water would be used for irrigation and toilets.
And....
And urban fruit gleaning: social networks will be used to help link the gardener with too many tomatoes with the gardener with too many cucumbers. Or people will post about fruit trees in public places that can be harvested.
My kids would be horrified. They think composting is disgusting. And there was open rebellion when I asked them to save the water from their showers and bucket it into the toilet for flushing.
Comments
I sure hope these predictions come true!

Composting is not disgusting--it's miraculous!

One big trend for 2010 is living walls. Both for inside and outside. I saw a living wall on HGTV 'home rules’. They used the most amazing assortment of foliage plants, bromeliads and orchids. I looked in the landscape design firm Urban Plantscapes, I am definitely having do one in my home.!
