Colin Purrington<p>Weed pit in my plot at the community garden. After it's full I'll top it off with soil and start another one. Keeps the garden tidy and over time becomes organic fertilizer. I know this is likely boring to most but I've noticed that many of my fellow gardeners throw their garden refuse onto the paths between plots. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>allotment</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/weeds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>weeds</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/compost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>compost</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/composting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>composting</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>garden</span></a></p>

You can keep them in a bin under your sink or, if you're concerned about the smell, you can always freeze them.</p><p>"Grab an inexpensive bin from the store. Bonus points if you can find one from Goodwill or another secondhand shop. Next, take a drill and create holes about 4 inches apart all over the body and lid of the bin for oxygen.

'Browns are your carbons, which are leaves or paper products.

Bishop Whitewind<p>I am literally the Lorax this account is what I have to say.<br>Look you've clearly tried absolutely everything else so I'm going to say this one last time. Then I'm going to sleep. <br>A lot of you have finally come around to realize that the <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/oligarchs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oligarchs</span></a> simply will never piss you out if you're on fire. <br>Some pretend to care more. Some couldn't pretend to care less. None of them care about you at all. <br>Who might care about you is you if you get around to it quickly enough.<br>In 2 months there is what I can only describe as a "Doom wave" that will hit. <br>The rest of it is up in the air due to the absolute chaos of mad men running an entire country. But one thing is certain and it is there will be an economic collapse and there will be a famine.<br>Those like myself are still here because the previous attempts on our lives throughout the years have failed every time. <br>I'm personally "notoriously hard to kill".<br>You can learn from this or you can surely perish. <br>You can do very little to help anyone if you are dead. This is something most realize sooner or later in their lives.<br>The Trump people have voted for their own disintegration. These people are not smart. <br>The old foggies and "middle class" or at least people that still think there is a middle class that just voted for this, will be hit the hardest at least at first. <br>This is because Donald Trump and his clown car posse will immediately implement destructive tariffs, cut social services, and disintegrate their entire voting base.<br>Social security, Medicaid, Medicare, pensions, welfare, probably public schools, public universities, maybe the IRS. Maybe the FBI who knows what will be left , because they're about to pull an Elon Musk and drop that kitchen sink like they did on Twitter dot com.<br>They will likely do this while deporting the people that actually grow our food. White people don't understand this because they apparently just have something wrong with them on a deep level from birth. I don't understand how this level of ignorance is possible. Somehow it skipped me and I'm grateful. <br>What they won't be doing is fucking picking avocados. <br>I assume they think Smurfs drop food from the sky into the supermarket.<br>They will die still not understanding the simple concept that their food comes from somewhere actually. <br>You don't have to go out in the first wave family. I say this because I'm still here after all these waves. <br>This mixed with climate change is going to decimate the food supply in the United States. <br>This mixed with the <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/tariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tariffs</span></a> and the ignorant. Shall we say "adjustments" to the <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/financial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>financial</span></a> system will cost prices to skyrocket to astronomical levels very rapidly.<br>I'm running out of words here so I'm going to finish this part of it up.

If they think fucking with you is going to result in getting shot in the face. Your odds of avoiding problems dramatically skyrockets.<br>If things go all the way south and they're just going to murder you anyway, make sure they pay for it every single time. <br>This is what stopped Hitler.

You won't come back. <br>At the very least, set you up a room, a camper, a shack that is "Doom proof" as far as you can manage it. <br>Strive to acquire something that is basically free to maintain in case you need it someday because that day is today.<br>If nothing else a fortified camper.

CaledonMoneypit 🇨🇦<p>Done for today and made some decent progress. Gardens look so bare once the perennials and weeds are gone. This shade garden is usually overflowing with Hostas and Astilbe. <br>Compost bin is at max capacity, so I'll top this off with shredded leaves and grass clippings after my final mowing of the season. There's a lot more garden clean-up to be done, so the rest will go out with the weeds on yard waste day this Friday. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Composting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Composting</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/WinterIsComing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WinterIsComing</span></a></p>
Bishop Whitewind<p>This is what I've learned this year. Suit it to taste/#climate.<br>Fava beans, lentils and/or Scarlet runners depending on the temperatures. <br>Swiss chard, figs and blackberries, woodland or alpine strawberries depending on climate. <br>Mulberry trees, hazelnuts, and chives. There is also something called tree kale or purple tree collard.<br>Amaranth grows where it's very hot. Use the beans and <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/composting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>composting</span></a> to nurture the soil.<br>3-4 Kilowatt hour incoming <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solar</span></a> charge, and about 9 to 10 KW hours of lithium phosphorus batteries.<br>Run nothing but 48 volt systems or you're wasting your time.<br>This radiant installation pictured below has given me a 20° variance between external and internal temperatures. <br>I use the lights from some cloning chambers I built into the house to stabilize the temperatures through the winter. Vent heat from LED light fixtures into the house. If you need more heat, use a wood burning stove.<br>It gets a little chilly but it can drop below 20° f and it stays habitable inside.<br>This is one layer of the insulation, my math called for two. Halfway done I will still make it through this winter.<br>I use the water storage to further stabilize the temperature. <br>I made it 80% of the year with just this pitiful water catchment system I installed in a hurry. <br>It is two small tarps going into a shady 30 gallon water bucket.<br>The upgrade will be an 8x8 tarp headed into a 50 gallon rain barrel.<br>The gardens take more water than humans. For months sometimes it's simply will refuse to rain.<br>When it does rain, the power takes a hit thus of the batteries.<br>Expect to put the farm ahead of everything else. <br>Cut down invasive trees. Use them for firewood and to hide you from the outside. <br>Do not bulldoze Fern Gully. Any clearing you create will then have to be managed.<br>A composting toilet that separates the liquid is essential. <br>Be mindful of bugs at all times in all places or eventually they will remind you forcefully that they exist.<br>An <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/ecosystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ecosystem</span></a> of dragonflies, lizards, and bats has sprung up to deal with endless swarms of insects. <br>Yellow jackets live nearby and outnumber the bees 50 to one. The yellow jackets and wasp do most of the pollinating as unfortunate as that is. <br>In this new world you have forbidden bees or nothing. <br>Birds are a double-edged sword, but there is nothing worse than an unchecked bug swarm being your existence for the rest of your life.<br>Squirrels, chipmunks, woodchucks, All manner of groundhog, hedgehogs, larger animals such as deer join the crows. <br>Work something out with the birds, work something out with a yellow jackets, work something out with the animals and the trees.<br>You are building an ecosystem, a small world.<br>The condensation from the leaves creates a rain every morning. <br>I'm not sure what tipping point stops this, but I have no plans to find out. <br>This kind of depends on going <a href="https://regenerate.social/tags/vegan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vegan</span></a>, I'm not going to lie. Supplement it with textured vegetable protein, nutritional yeast, and multivitamins. <br>A simple thing is to glob peanut butter into a bowl of course cut oats, then sprinkle with cinnamon.<br>You should plan on some sort of internet connection, recreation, and a shower or two at least every week, or you will quickly go mad.<br>Time your heavy labor for shower days. That way you won't be stuck gross. <br>Keep peroxide, witch hazel, creams, and health and beauty aides of course on hand. <br>Wash your clothes in a bustub and rinse them out in the storms. <br>Learn to build fences and barriers both living and material.

DoomsdaysCW<p>Every household should have one of these. I've been composting most of my life -- growing up, we had a big pile (mixed with chicken manure), when I lived in the suburbs of Boston, we shared a wooden bin with neighbors, who also gardened. I've always had one since I've lived in Maine -- again, a wooden bin shared by the whole household. Of course, the bins eventually break down, so now I've switched to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EarthMachine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EarthMachine</span></a> composters (I bought one through a Maine program, my neighbor gave me the other). A lid flew away in a storm, and I was able to get a replacement lid direct from Earth Machine. </p><p>Other than losing a lid, they have held up really well -- no cracks, and I've owned one for over 10 years and leave them out all winter. The design keeps critters out (that was a problem with the wooden bins). I turn the compost manually with a garden fork, so it gets nice and hot (and the dark color helps with that). They aren't cheap ($189 direct from the manufacturer), but sometimes municipal programs will offer them at a discounted rate (I think I paid $60 for mine).</p><p>"Now from ORBIS (formerly Norseman Environmental). The 80-gallon Earth Machine is a durable backyard <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CompostBin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CompostBin</span></a> designed to compost food and yard waste, effectively diverting it from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/landfills" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>landfills</span></a>. When residents are encouraged to divert organics from the waste stream and are educated about the benefits of composting, up to 50% of organic waste can be diverted from the waste stream. The Earth Machine is for food and yard waste only. </p><p>- 80-gallon, 300 liter capacity<br>- Easy snap-together assembly<br>- Twist locking lid<br>- Harvest door, for easy compost removal<br>- Vertical and horizontal ventilation<br>- User guide, harvest door, lid, and screws included<br>- BPA free<br>- UV stabilizer is added to resist deterioration from sunlight<br>- Made from recycled content</p><p><a href="https://www.orbiscorporation.com/en-us/products/environmental-recycling-and-waste/compost-bins/npl-300-earth-machine/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">orbiscorporation.com/en-us/pro</span><span class="invisible">ducts/environmental-recycling-and-waste/compost-bins/npl-300-earth-machine/</span></a></p><p>Some example of municipal programs which offer discounted composters (Earth machines) and rainbarrels at a discounted rate.
