Human urine is a great, natural, free source of Nitrogen for your soil or compost. Flushing your urine after each pee, would waste thousands of gallons of water per year at home. Then, your valuable urine is not only lost, but it goes to a chemical waste center where they must use chemicals on all that water you flushed, since within the sewage pipes it has all gotten mixed with stool. To minimize the water shortages seen in so many communities, an easy way to save water is by NOT flushing away your urine. Using for your compost or garden is an extra benefit. (If you just let it sit in the toilet bowel until you have a bowel movement, then the urine can start to smell up your bathroom, and your garden or compost would be missing out on a great source of liquid nitrogen.) Try it…. it is much easier, cleaner, and normal than you might think.
www.cleanairgardening.com This composting crock is great for anyone who has a compost bin or is starting to learn about composting. Made of ceramic, it holds about 1 gallon of food scraps, making it the perfect size to set next to any kitchen sink. Simply throw in your food scraps until it’s full (or 2-3 days), and then empty it into your composting bin to help create rich compost soil.
my neighbor behind me has an apple tree that drops tons of apples in my yard every summer. I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with them, besides just throwing them away. I wanted to try and compost them this year, so I needed a way to break them up so they will compost faster. I started off by stepping on the apples to open them up. But now I found a better way using my shredder. I hope you enjoy the video, and keep me in mind if you need vacuum sealer bags to help preserve your garden harvest. My website is www.SealerBags.com
In only 30 days I turned rough straw, leaves, coffee grounds, coffee filters and chicken manure into dark, righ, nitorgen-packed garden compost. You can make compost easily and fast just like me. There has been some insane damage and freak weather from the recent storm that rampaged across my part of the country. Tornados, snow and insane wind that flipped an entire greenhouse over with catastrophic results. Tune in for the latest episode in the garden of Praxxus55712. Rascal and I will join you here.
