$ Since founding edge Marketing and deSign in February 2010, we have worked to create more opportunities to harness the power of all things local. Through a mix of advertising, marketing, design, business, and technology expertise, we found a natural opening. Add in an overwhelming enthusiasm for the latest trends in everything, and here we are – bringing the Helena area a brand new magazine, Edge, a double-cover flipbook for style and business.

This side, On Trend, aims to bring you fresh and stylish ways to approach your everyday life. From home decor and gardening to food and fashion, we're showing you how to stay inspired with everything our local community has to offer. Our ten-page fashion spread may look big city - but it was all shopped, styled, and photographed in Helena (at the Lewis & Clark Brewing Company!). We also spend large amounts of time online digging up what's of-the-moment, and we'll be sure to share.

As business owners and entrepreneurs, we are all constantly eager to learn what it takes to stay at the top of our game and, therefore, bring you In Demand, the flip side of the magazine. What are the local realities in marketing, social media, and technology? What are the next big things, the must-haves? Get ready to hear all about it!

Thank you to all contributors, readers, and advertisers for your continued support. We are thrilled to share this with you, and we look forward to hearing your feedback as we begin planning the next issue, set to publish in early winter. Enjoy!

WANT AN EVEN SIMPLER

VERSION? Skip the dirt and opt

for an air plant instead. Air plants are a type

of succulent that glean their nutrients and

moisture from the air. An occasional soaking is all they need. Find

a small glass vase or a funky dish, add your air plant, and you’re done.

air plant


One bowl or container at least three inches deep

Regular potting soil

Four to six small succulent plants, depending on the size

of your container

SIMPLE SUCCULENTARRANGEMENT

This issue’s featured D.I.Y requires some playing in the dirt, but the end result is a one-of-a-kind piece that will add some green to a tabletop, shelf arrangement, or window sill.

Succulents are a group of water-retaining plants often adapted to arid conditions. They often have a unique fleshy or “fat” appearance. They’re also

relatively low-maintenance plants, so fear not if you don’t possess a green thumb.

Select succulents that vary in shape, color, and texture for maximum visual interest.

Fill the bottom of the container with a thin layer of soil. Then gently remove the plants from their pots and test arrange them.

Once the plants are arranged in the container, fill in the empty spaces around plants with soil. Finish up by watering.

Scrub the dirt from under your fingernails. Take a deep breath. Enjoy.

b y D e a n n a S a t r e



as a mom, a business oWner, and a semi-active community member, I just have not prioritized recycling in my day-to-day routine. So why am I writing about recycling if I have no expertise and no passion for the cause as a whole? I have heard eco-activists' side of the story, and it isn’t working to motivate. So in an effort to stop being part of the problem, I decided to take the project on and find my own reasons and ways to recycle. And maybe take a few of you down with me.

WhY?The first question I asked myself is, “Why?” Why make the extra effort in my already busy life? The short answer is guilt. I feel guilty about being part of the problem. I grew up learning not to be wasteful, cleaning my dinner plate, putting the leftovers in an old Cool Whip tub, turning the lights off when I left the room. I would rather someone use my garbage than condemn it to a landfill for the next 500 years.

WhY not?The biggest excuse can be summed up in one word: logistics. My kitchen area

lacks an obvious place for the garbage can, let alone two or more garbage cans. I live out of town, WAY out of town. I don’t have curbside recycling pick up like what is offered by our friends at City-County Sanitation. So even if I did manage to successfully collect the recyclable items, I would have to find a convenient location to deliver them to (surely after driving around with them in the back for a few days because I just plain forgot they were there).

a PLace to StartSo here I am, ready to be a recycler (which goes to show how guilt in its purest form can overcome the most logical thought process). I have chosen to start simple – with the material we use the most at my house. Aluminum cans. Tape measure in hand, I plan out a way to make my kitchen accommodate the additional receptacle, which turned out to have even less options that I had thought.

After some online searching, a trip to Bed, Bath and Beyond, and a little help from my husband, success! Now for

those of you wondering how I managed to circumvent the lack of large storage spaces in my kitchen, I will enlighten you on my epiphany. When envisioning my plan, I had always pictured some sort of can-collecting container conveniently placed next to the garbage can that we just toss the can in. Then out of the blue, Captain Obvious decided to finally pay a little visit and leave this little gem ... CANS GET SMALLER! And while I hate to admit that the thought of saving storage space by crushing the cans first did not immediately occur to me, I am just thankful that eventually it did.

So after collecting all my new knowledge about all the products out there for aiding in the collection of empty aluminum cans, I pretty much had three options. Option one: garbage can on the deck. Not the most convenient place to toss something. Option two: get one of the fancy separated trash cans I found at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Nice, but they are kind of on the expensive side. And option three: crush the cans and get a wastebasket small enough to fit under the sink.

In the end, I purchased a wall-mounted can crusher for $14.99 and placed it conveniently above a small wastebasket in the laundry room, which is right off my kitchen. I made sure it was low enough for my two-year-old son to reach because I am sure he will love participating in the crushing part, at least until he is 12 anyway. We also placed a large garbage can outside the back door to empty the little one into.

What'S aheadI know that all this seems pretty obvious to someone who already recycles. But for those of us who don’t, I think it is not so much about being too busy to recycle; it is just about being too busy to even realize that you don’t. And then once you have realized it, it just ends up on that list of things you have to do someday. So for all those people with that list, I say to you, it took me WAY longer to write this article than it did to figure out and implement a system for recycling cans. I crossed something off that list of someday tasks, and it was EASY!

i have a confession to make: i don’t recycle. not because i think there is some global conspiracy to unify the planet around a problem that doesn’t exist; recycling simply feels too inconvenient for my lifestyle. there, i said it!

Pacific Steel & Recycling is giving 40 cents a pound for aluminum cans

(as of May 4).

There are about 32–12 oz cans to

a pound.

If you go through two 12-packs of pop a week (like we do),

you could recycle enough cans in a year to buy you

two more weeks’ worth of pop.

$ Are you feeding your plants enough? Despite

what fertilizer manufacturers try to convince us, the reality is – plants make their own food. Through photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and separate the carbon and oxygen molecules. They release most of the oxygen for us to breathe, and they use the carbon to make complex sugars or “plant food.”

When you look at a giant redwood or a blade of grass, they are similar in their makeup: 45% oxygen, 45% carbon and 7% hydrogen. The remaining 3% consists of elements found in fertilizer, also known as “plant food.” Nitrogen and potassium make up close to half of these elements. Calcium, phosphorus, sulphur, and magnesium make up the rest. Micronutrients, such as iron, zinc, and manganese, are measured in tissue at rates of about .01%.

In my experience from visiting hundreds of gardens,

most gardeners apply way too much fertilizer thinking they are feeding their plants, thinking the more “plant food” applied will mean better plants. Unfortunately, the opposite is true.

Fertilizers, such as 20-20-20, contain a lot more fertilizer salts than plants can use, leaving the majority of these salts in your soil. The salts will eventually build up to toxic levels if not leached out with sufficient water.

In the words of Thomas Jefferson, “The hardest part of farming is turning dirt into soil.” He knew that creating a healthy, well-drained, organic rich soil would yield better plants. Although he didn't have the scientific tools we have today to understand soil dynamics, he used his knowledge of farming to create beautiful and fruitful gardens and orchards around his two homes.

Today we know that the micro-organisms, such as

mycorrhizae fungi, living in healthy soil attach to the roots of the plants, helping them absorb nutrients and water that is already present in the soil. This symbiotic relationship between plants and beneficial fungi has always existed. Unfortunately, in the modern urban environment, topsoil is stripped from new construction sites and a thin layer of soil is re-applied for the homeowner to grow a lawn. Most of the beneficial mycorrhizae are nonexistent and the application of heavy phosphorus fertilizer further hinders its ability to recolonize your soil.

The bottom line: limit your application of fertilizer to mainly nitrogen in our phosphorus and potassium-rich soil. Add pine bark compost and humic acid to lower the pH of our alkaline soil and re-establish a healthy root environment teeming with beneficial organisms and life.

opinions about wine have changed lately. instead of wine only going with food, it is now being consumed alone. People are traveling more these days. because of that, their pallets have become more adventurous. When they return from their travels, they want to find a wine that reminds them of where they were, and this is where topper's delivers. topper says, “Wine is a sensual pleasure. you do that which gives you pleasure.” topper also says the wine you drink is better if you change with the seasons. in the summer months, light crisp white wines and sweet light reds are the most desired. recoMMended WhiteSGodello: spanish

QUINOA: SACRED SUPER CROP

$ Over 5,000 years ago, high in the Andes mountains, the Incas began to cultivate quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) as one of their staple crops, believing that it gave power and stamina

to their warriors. The Real Food Market and Deli in Helena proudly serves quinoa dishes at least once a week as a great gluten-free and high-protein option. On the menu: quinoa pasta, quinoa tubule, and quinoa chili. Red, black, rainbow, and traditional varieties also available.
