  • I highly recommend checking w w w . gardenlearningtrust . c o m/subscribe if you want to get into gardening, its pretty insightful and their free newsletter definately helped get me started

  • Google or wikipedia accumulator plants.

  • Since there is plant matter ( gourds etc... ) in your compost, then there will be minerals in your finished compost. Especially if what was put into it came from deep rooted plants like trees. All plants consist of some amount of minerals. Accumulator plants will of course have more.

  • Thanks for the advice!

  • @songwriter806 thats like 90 dollers a turd , dam , how does he make shit that cheap ?

  • great tips.thanks for sharing.

  • true story..dog poop chicken,poop,one scoop of cow poop,just one! raw tomatoes,banana peals,half pound of roaches dead or alive,one shovel of horse poop, all the egg shells you want because they have good minerals and your not going to belive it human poop at least one pound no more! mix it up real good and you will have the best vegetable garden in the world! my cousin was a vegetaian so I got the human poop from him, he is avalable he sells his poop for $30 BUCKS an ounce his #is 806 7860098

  • Yup, most animal waste except for human waste is excellent fertilizer. My father has a small chicken coop which he beds with cedar shavings. Once a year he has me shovel it out into his empty garden and we till it in. The best animal waste would probably be horse manure. Of course horses aren't abundant and horse farmers probably won't give it to you for free. If you have time, maybe you can go poop hunting. :P lol

  • the woman in this film also goes videos about keeping chickens for the meat and eggs. i have heard that chicken poop is very good for the compost .

  • Thank You! I just started my compost pile and i needed to see what it looks like when its finished! I cant wait to have homemade compost!
