Composting is making a comeback in the world of gardening, and it's big. From Lasagna Gardening to Brewing Compost Tea, it's time to get that pile going! A big thank you to Jay from PreparePDX for finding this video!

"Fish emulsion has been a go-to product for the organic and natural home gardener for years now, as it has proven its effectiveness in feeding the soil and plants with biologically available nutrients while increasing soil and microbe health. The main drawback to commercial fish emulsion is the cost and the smell. While we can’t do anything to help you with the fishy smell, we can help you make your own fish emulsion that will not only save you a lot of money in product and shipping costs, but just might make a better product than you can buy! This homemade fish emulsion will almost always supply more nutrients than commercially available, but also supplies much more beneficial bacteria from the brewing process. In order to ship, commercial emulsions have little to no active bacteria, because they make containers swell as they continue to grow!" Read the full article here.

I recently picked up this book on composting human manure. Yes, this topic may gross some people out. But if you can't handle dealing with your own waste, you probably won't be able to deal with more serious situations. You're going to have to do something with your waste, might as well put it to good use.
