Ironite Questions?

Then there are the trips about to barber shops to take the waste hair. Making friends with the local high cafeteria folks to take the garbage. Keeping those teaming microbes alive and well so we can eat off the top of the chain. Maria has already described the steps she takes to incorporate compost and yard clippings into her garden. I use horse manure, although I have no one to deliver it, and must find the time to go and load lots of buckets and trash cans, as many as I can fit into my car. ahh, the beauty of driving an old clunker Both of us still find a need for store bought products once in a while. You and your significant other ??? I don't use cover crops or green manures because I find the horse manure already raises the nitrogen in the soil higher than makes me happy. I can't get yard litter from the city compost pile anymore, it proved to be such a popular item that the city charges for it, even for a few grocery bagfuls. Well, I shouldn't say "can't", I could, but I refuse to pay what they're charging for a product of marginal quality. As to begging for...um...materials from cafeteria employees, high or cold sober, for me it's mostly a time issue. Bully for you that you have the luxury of time to do things like that. I don't right now. Why do you insert your life / lifestyle over that of the thread originator? She said she was retired. I would think the purpose of this thread is to discuss all options / alternatives. After all, we landed on greensand as a better substitute to her original query on Ironite. I would like you to explain the difference to the bacteria, fungi, and the like between store bought organic products and...uh...materials you sponged off someone for free? It's no contest with red worms, they prefer garbage any day. Perhaps you're foolish enough to feed them store bought produce? Steve Young |
