I have been doing quite a lot of pruning of shrubs in the garden, and had collected up a heap of branches. They were all piled up in front of our garage waiting for my partner to run them all through the shredder. I use all the...

I thought I would share the recipe of making compost fertilizer at home. So that's how I started. First of all I took a pot and put around 20% of black soil. Then as you can see, there was this green waste from the kitchen. I made...

There is a big orange tree in the backyard of our current house-sit. It is loaded with big juicy oranges and my BIL suggested I make some marmalade. This isn’t my favourite conserve but Vince likes it. Also, I have lots of small...

Autumn is here and the leaves are falling everywhere. The little road we live on has a lot of overhanging trees so of course that means lots of leaves on the ground.
Passing cars soon squash them into mush and that means a lot...

Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom in California signed a bill this last week allowing human composting as a burial method. This law becomes valid in 2027. The bill will legalize "natural organic reduction" which can provide a...

Although I love the Spring and Summer months there's something about Autumn that really draws me. I think it's partly because the foliage on bushes and trees looks so colourful and I also love the damp earthy smell of the ground...

I saw on the news a few nights ago that there is a company that is trying to make it possible for them to turn human remains into compost. Then you would really be pushing up daisies.

Why do they not sell celery by the stalk? They would make so much more off of one plant and I know that I am not the only one with this complaint.
There are tons of forums and blogs out there about what to do with your leftover...
