I can’t handle my waste of food due to space limitations. That’s why I don’t waste any or less I can. When I was young in the countryside, we used to donated waste food for pig farmers.
When I move for my citadel I’ll use the permaculture philosophy as this info you shared here that looks like a great example of permaculture.
Having more personal space sounds swell!
We have a small vermicompost system at home. it's amazing what the California worms 🪱 can do with almost all the organic waste.
Once the food is processed we use the new material to feed the garden and to water the plants.
Thanks for sharing. I don’t even know what vermicompost means. And will find out more about California worms!
Thanks! Will watch it
I hate wasting food. Since I live alone, my kitchen is quite low-volume, although I make an effort to pick my groceries so that any waste is compostable; and this gets collected and donated to my mom, who helps neighborhoods setup composters and urban gardens.
From her I've learned that this is almost like religious prosletyzing; some people simply aren't interested in helping and can't be reached, and they'll keep dumping all their garbage into one bin because it's too much trouble for them to separate waste. Beyond the occasional reminder that I'd be happy to help them improve their infrastructure, I don't think it helps to dwell on the issue; efforts are better spent collaborating with people who are already interested.
Your mum is an influencer in the literal sense of the word. It takes a special person to journey alongside her neighbors every step of the way
I have been talking food wanted from a solidarity grocery store for a bot more than à year.
What is given to them and that they can't sell cheap for those who need ot because it's too old, I tool home everyday my job allowed me to go there after work. We're talking about 30 kg per day, 2 to 3 times a day
Then I do compost it in the garden. Eventually, even that quantity degrades fast enough that the compost pile decreases as fast as you add to it.
But be sure to not have a single one, a wide enough one, and to turn it often BEFORE it starts to smell!
Be aware of rats too. At some point, one had digged tunnels to go from the food garden to inside the compost
Now, the second compost pile is more open and a lot more wide, and I see some birds pick in it. Sometimes the dears.And I guess at some point I will also see wils boars, but it is far enough in the forest part of the garden
What is a solidarity grocery store?
The rats 🐀 sound horrible haha.
Do you sprinkle seeds on top of your two composts?
