freeeeeee

i just read an article about the perfect nitrogen-rich compost additive.... you ready for this?

urine.

i'll be sure to tell eric to piss on the compost next time he's in the back yard.  i'm sure he won't mind.  in fact, i'm pretty sure he'll be quite excited about the task.

its cheaper than buying some stupid pre-made nonsense.  in fact, it's free.

nick, already slightly disturbed by the big black bin of rotting in the backyard, will be outright horrified.

almost over

well... we pulled up all the plants in the garden except the perennial herbs, broccoli, and swiss chard.  its officially over.  we're only going to get a bit more outta the rest, then the broccoli and swiss chard go, too.

compost bin is moving right along.  goes down a few inches a week.  i may put something in to accelerate the process.

it twinkles in the morning sun

well... there it was... the first frost...

game over.
