would collecting rain water be better than tap water? As chlorine is in tap water, even fluoride and plants absorb chemicals . Like when flowers are kept in food colouring, they absorb very quickly like a sponge. I am thinking to stretch out a tarpaulin in the rain and channel the water into a big tub for garden use.
Thank you very much. You were very helpful. Would you recommend a large trash bin with holes drilled at the bottom? Would the material succesfully compost in a bin such as that?
None of the hundreds of Greek city-states, with the exception of Sparta, developed a stable form of government. Sparta had a peculiar dual, hereditary monarchy. The most unstable was Athens which was brought to the brink of disaster several times due to the extreme liberalism of Athenian democracy and the degeneracy of Athenian society due to the ravages of the Peloponnesian war. Thebes had an interesting form of government which came to an abrupt end in 337BC when Alexander sacked the city.
As long as you don't put any meat or dairy in the compost, pests shouldn't find it too interesting. Choosing a bin that they can't get into (eg drainage holes too small for anything but worms and insects to squeeze through) is another good measure to take.
why do you have to wait for the worm castings to dry out before putting the castings with your vegies ? or was he just saying that for no reason ? ive got a worm composting box atm so happy with my little m8s :D
There are a couple of things I see wrong in here, although there is alot of good information in this video. #1 compost tea needs to be aerated, what the lady has in this video isn't compost tea but rather compost seeped in water which can actually harm your garden by causing the proliferation of pathogenic anerobic bacteria. #2 is that the guy at the end dries out his worm castings, that would kill the beneficial bacteria that you want to keep as soil ammenders. They are the benefit of worm poo.

electric mowers are dirtier than gas mowers (newer gas mowers) ...UNLESS you have a green power source

We started a trash can compost bin a few days ago. I added some old grass clipping, food scraps, shedded newspaper and compost starter

I have a question? Do compost bins attract any rodents or snakes or any other kind of surprise visitor???

Composting is better when the water comes from a water butt / harvester and not from the mains powered hose!
some people eh?

How about a push mower instead of gas or electric?

@bullw battery electric charged by the sun is better. push mowers keep getting jammed with sticks.
