Human urine is a great, natural, free source of Nitrogen for your soil or compost. Flushing your urine after each pee, would waste thousands of gallons of water per year at home. Then, your valuable urine is not only lost, but it goes to a chemical waste center where they must use chemicals on all that water you flushed, since within the sewage pipes it has all gotten mixed with stool. To minimize the water shortages seen in so many communities, an easy way to save water is by NOT flushing away your urine. Using for your compost or garden is an extra benefit. (If you just let it sit in the toilet bowel until you have a bowel movement, then the urine can start to smell up your bathroom, and your garden or compost would be missing out on a great source of liquid nitrogen.) Try it…. it is much easier, cleaner, and normal than you might think.
my neighbor behind me has an apple tree that drops tons of apples in my yard every summer. I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with them, besides just throwing them away. I wanted to try and compost them this year, so I needed a way to break them up so they will compost faster. I started off by stepping on the apples to open them up. But now I found a better way using my shredder. I hope you enjoy the video, and keep me in mind if you need vacuum sealer bags to help preserve your garden harvest. My website is www.SealerBags.com

This is the same outhouse as the first video (hard to believe?!?!) with a newly added solar shower, toilet paper roll holder and fancy paint job! Unfortunately I was not able to get my farm bosses to splurge on pigment so I could make natural paint, it’s regular old latex… the outside will be painted by some lucky future intern (hopefully that will be homemade egg tempera).
