Composting - Tumblr Posts
It is not DOOMED FOR COMPOST compost is a BEAUTIFUL PART OF THE CIRCLE OF LIFE. Quite frankly I would be honoured to be put on the compost heap. Doomed my ass. I WANNA BECOME PLANTS, MY MAN. LET ME BE A TREE.
Baked with love, doomed for compost :’(
Whenever I post this I get “BUT WHY BURY IT?” From people
Heres why…
Zero odor, which mean no pests going through it. I can even compost “some” bread products because no ones going to be going through it for it.
It never drys out, ever. This helps speed up the break down of everything inside.
Its in the middle of my garden and leaches out into the soil around it bettering my garden. I now have a few of these in my yard, because I love them so much.
Worms. They move in immediately again helping the break down and giving me amazing soil.
I have Ten Gallons of composted organic fertilizer and Mango Seedling. YadadImean?
Happy Earth Day, everyone! Trying to more earth consciously is certainly a process that doesn’t happen overnight. Composting is certainly one that left me with a lot of questions at first. I’ve been doing it and off for the last 5 years (not every space has been conducive to it) and have found that like most things, every compost pile can be a little different based on what you’re using for the bin, what climate your in, and how much space you have for it. These guidelines have worked well for me when trying to remember what can be put in it. Some of the best advice I’ve received about composting is finding a good ratio between “brown” (carbon) and “green” (nitrogen) material of about 25:1 (carbon to nitrogen). This means keeping things like newspaper, dead leaves, and hay to a much smaller ratio. Things that I don’t typically throw in my compost would be citrus peels, dairy products, meat products, and diseased plants. Other things to consider putting in would be house plant trimmings, old dried spices, and bashed avocado pit. Composting has significantly reduced waste in my house and has really helped reframe what resources can be regenerative. 🌎For those of you looking to start, or just need a reminder, I added this poster to my downloadable page on my website (link in my bio) for free! 🌏
