compost, here I come!

One of the good things about our new place: I can finally have my compost pile. I’m thrilled to death with the idea, it’s something I’ve wanted for ages but have been unable to do so. Sure, I have to deal with being shot at and mugged and possibly pimped out while I put disgusting food bits in our yard, but boy can I not wait!

    A compost heap…..heehee. Your neighbors will complain of the smell, you forgot that part. Also, G might complain of the smell. You could always be really ambitious and empty the contents of Ry’s diaper in the heap as well. Then when he is eating his vegetables that he grew from little seeds you can tell him they were made from his very own poop! Trust me, by that age he will think that is the absolute grooviest thing he ever heard of.

    My mother in law’s boss at work would save up all of her dog shit and use it as fertalizer for her garden. Obviously you can’t put dog shit down and expect stuff to grow. I think you have to put it down and then keep putting lime over the top of it.

    Totally disgusting. She said that they were the biggest tomatoes around though.

    Don’t you wish you lived in PA? lol
