In celebration of Canada Day, Homemakers.com asked Canadians to submit their 100 favourite Canadian things. Here are the top ten...

10. Tim Hortons
"Coffee addicts unite! ... Who can resist rolling up the rim?" wrote Anne Shelton of Toronto. Yes, we love Tim's coffee, Timbits, Iced Capps frozen cappuccinos, sour cream cake and maple doughnuts.


9. The beautiful Canadian Rocky Mountains
"...still mostly untouched. You can go hiking without running into crowds of people." (Lasha MacLeod, Sherwood Park, Alta.)


8. Fresh water
That includes our lakes to swim and fish in, clean drinking water, rivers, streams and ponds. "The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway are proud parts of our history in discovering the country," said Terri McBride of Hunstville, Ont.


7. Hockey
Included in "Our Game" are CBC's Hockey Night in Canada -- both the show and its former theme song -- as well as national teams: The Vancouver Canucks, Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames, Toronto Maple Leafs, Ottawa Senators, and Montreal Canadiens, Cheers to our women's teams too. In Canada, hockey is "the sport that brings friends and communities together," said Kim O'Reilly, Calgary, Alta.


6. Health care
Barbara White of Barrie, Ont. said it best: "Having a husband diagnosed with cancer at 33 and, 10 years later, still waking up beside him and watching our children grow together makes me thankful every day that I am a Canadian. I have not had to get a second or third job, still have a house without having to sell it all in order to pay medical bills!"


5. Freedom
We're overwhelmingly grateful for our freedom of speech and religion; for our nation's independence and democracy, and for our Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Linda LaRochelle from Port Alberni, B.C. wrote in to say: "In Canada, a democratic country, we enjoy the freedom to live our lives pretty much as we choose."


4. Our changing seasons
"Canadians enjoy talking about the weather and are often disgruntled by the extreme heat and cold. But the changing of the seasons gives us not only something to talk about, but also to look forward to." (Cheryl Telford, Newmarket, Ont.)


3. The Canadian character
You described Canadians as friendly, polite, generous, warm, open-minded, forgiving, humble, welcoming, caring, curious and honest. "It's the people that make a country great and we have a great country with outstanding people -- young and old." (Beth Corrigan Jenish, Oshawa, Ont.)


2. The landscape
Vast, clean, diverse and green -- those are some of the words you used to describe our home and native land. "Whether travelling east to west or west to east, we truly have a beautiful country to be proud of," said Cheryl Telford. And...


1. Multiculturalism
"From our people, our landscape, our culture(s), food, etc., the very fabric of Canada is a patchwork quilt, full of colours and textures and richness," says Linda LaRochelle, Port Alberni, B.C.

Over the next little while, I'll be providing homeowners with tips on how to go "green".

Here is the first of many to come!

Starting a Compost Pile:

Having a compost pile keeps organic yard and household waste out of your local landfill. It also creates a rich "natural" mulch for your flowerbeds and vegetable garden.

Here is how to create your own compost pile:

1. Create a pile (without a container) in an out of the way corner of your yard. Or you can, build a simple three-sided compost box about three feet tall and three feet square. Adding a removable front to your box is a good idea too. A compost box will allow you to pile up enough organic material so that heat builds up and decomposition is accelerated.

2. Properly managing your compost pile will speed up the process. First, you should regularly turn your compost over with a spade. Second you should keep it damp, but don't let it get soaked regularly. If you live in a dry climate you should spray your pile with a hose every few days. If you live in a damp climate you may have to keep it covered with a tarp between the application of moisture.

3. Your pile should be located where it can get some sun - in order to keep the temperature up. Regardless of the season, the interior of your pile should be warm. As the material decomposes it creates heat, so a warm interior indicates that it is decomposing correctly.

4. Your pile should contain both "brown" and "green" components with about 2/3 being "brown". Brown components are rich in carbon and include such things as dried leaves, pine needles, spoiled hay, straw and paper. Green ingredients are rich in nitrogen and include grass clippings, yard waste, coffee grounds, fruit and vegetable kitchen waste.

5. Start with a 5 inch layer of brown components and then add a 2 inch layer of green, and so on.

6. Don't add meat waste to your pile because it will attract raccoons and other pests.

7. Don't add chemically treated grass, cat litter, dog feces etc.

8. Putting weeds in the center of the pile is good because the heat will kill the seeds.
What a great way to get rid of all those weeds! So go ahead and create your own compost pile.


A properly managed compost pile will start yielding good compost in between 4 and 10 months.
Your neighbors will be "green" with envy.
