Composting green



As Firths we love being outside, cherish the enviroment, and honor mother nature. But when it comes to jumping on the "green" band wagon, we've kinda missed the boat. We aren't especially big consumers and try to reduce, reuse, repaint, but lately we've been talking about what we can do to be more earth friendly. We can't really afford at this point to buy organic, green, energy- saving, non- toxic products. However, one thing that we've done the past year is develop a healthy dirt making machine of a compost. We love feeding the compost and can't wait to use our new- born organic dirt.


8 reasons Compost is like a Man (Yes, it's a bit rude and offensive but a tad funny)

1)It devours seemingly non-edible foodstuffs with inanimate ease
2) Just when you think it looks HOT it lets off gas
3)Long periods of sitting around doing nothing are parenthesized by short bursts of activity
4)The more it gets working, the more it begins to smell
5)It needs to be turned and prodded to get it working
6)It's preferred habitat is outdoors
7)Worms and bugs crawling all over it doesn't seem to bother it If you spread it too thin it has very little benefit
8)However, it does keep getting better with age

Congrats on making the world a cleaner and greener place.

That's some beautiful dirt you have there.
We attemped a compost last year during a drought. The local deer found a new feeding trough in the process. We didn't get much out of it as it result. But we indirectly helped out the wildlife.
Good job on being green.
