Compost like a Yippie
I finally got my Earth Machine up and running, and so now I’m in a “compost EVERYTHING” mode. Planet Green has an article “75 things you can compost, but thought you couldn’t.” And, among other helpful composting articles, “How to Make Hot Compost,” how to compost without a yard, and a Guerilla human waste composting program in Chicago. Since reading these, I’ve decided to piss in my compost bin.
(I KID)
Planet Green also told me where to buy a yippie compost bin (read: hippie + yuppie). I want it.
Unrelatedly, Ready Made posted an article, “The Captivating Case of Quinoa” about how quinoa got to the U.S. from South America. Relatedly, only a few of my quinoa seeds have sprouted so far. Is anyone out there having success with it?

We’ve never had any luck with quinoa. If I remember correctly, we got a few pretty flowers to grow, but that was it.

Hmm…good to know. I planted a few more, and at least a couple seem to be coming up. I hope it works out!
