  • This can be a contriversal subject. I do believe with using human waste (sewage) as a fertilizer source. People use cow shit all the time to fertilize their garden. The problem I have with composted human waste is the chemicals that may be contained in there due to prescription drugs, etc. Overall, I encourage people to grow in the best soil they can afford. I would agree, that its better to grow your own food with Leslies organic mix than to purchase organic or even convetional produce.

  • Hi Ronnie, I didn't forget about you.. Im planning on contacting you and visiting when Im out in Las Vegas for more than a few days when I can come out and visit. :)

    Do you live in a desert environment? The ground is too hard, filled with caliche.

  • nice garden. 

  • It is easier to block some of the desert weeds from entering a raised bed even here in the desert. Lowing the beds might help with some water harvesting, but with only 7 inches of rain a year the opportunities are few and far between. Also, the weeds tend to put their roots deep and will take the opportunity to sprout if the roots find free air and sunlight. Do your water harvesting off your roof and raise your beds...0
