Some of our neighbors have been showing voting signs in their front yards, explaining that Trump is Jesus and that you must vote for Jesus.
The first of the 10 commandments is to not take the name of thy God in vain.
Also when this man has zero talent for any of the 9 other commandments and that he is a convicted felon and a rapist let me tell you one good thing.
Trump is evil you fools.
He is a pathological liar and has a hatred agenda.
Not exactly the kind of things Jesus would do.

For context, we live in the south of the USA where segregation is still happening especially in the justice system.
Here we have to hear all day long the republicans whining about the immigrants and I am not saying that they don't do crime. What I am saying is that most of the mass shootings here are done by white men who frankly are getting away with it compared to colored people.

Absolutely, all of the nutrients that you have ingested and that are digested by your body can simply go back to the soil.
This is why this product if it is treated correctly is a very beneficial amendment for the soil and for the compost pile.
But if you over use it and if it is not properly balanced then it will create a lot of problems.

When you are being too so often to be a man you just want to answer but dude how are you one?

As a #trans person I have been told a lot, you have the body of a man, therefore you are a man.
Let me tell you how a real man should behave. When a real man does something wrong or fuck things up. He should have a self check process and realise he did wrong.
He always should apologize to others for the wrong he does and he should be working on fixing his mess and avoid repeating those mistakes.
That is what a truly wise and strong man should do.
I have no lectures to receive from toxic men who get their little feelings hurt when you are telling them how wrong they are.
Also, a true man should never belittle and disrespect women and kids, he should always be here to provide and assist.
Also, I am not a man but spending a lot of time with women, I can tell you that if you want to win a lady's heart it is as simple as that, just be a man.

2024-09-08 12:07:44 UTC

"Think Global, Act Local" are not just words.
When we collect the organic matter around us and decide to compost it, we decide to act on our local environment and what is in our control.
It is hard to imagine that one person makes a difference. But if we all decide to do this on a global scale.
This is how we can fix the landfills by feeding our landscape.
This is how we can reduce our carbon footprint the compost pile will do this for you.
This is how we can reduce soil erosion, allowing it to be a sponge and limiting flood damage.
Compost has so many benefits it is hard to list them all. This is how you can make a difference.
The bullshit excuse I am just me I don't matter is not valid.

Trench composting is a very old method for doing compost if you have a garden but you do not want to install a compost heap.
The native Americans used to do this so it is not new. But be aware of 2 things:
- it will attract rodents and unwanted visitors to your garden.
- if you let seeds they will sprout everywhere.
Also, compost by definition should be aerobic so I liked this video a lot because the compost is not being buried.

The compost goal is to improve the quality of your soil.
This is why a compost pile is not yet another trash, you have to be mindful of your inputs and understand what kind of nutrients you are producing in the end.

My convictions are so strong that I do not care to be the only person to wear a mask in a very crowded place, I do not care, to be looked at as weird because of it, I do not care to be mocked.
But if you dare to tell me what I should do with my well-being, be aware that I will let you know what an asshole you are.
If I offend you because I wear a mask when a plague is killing millions of people, you are the idiot here.
If you choose to not mask please be civilized enough to not chastise those who do not share your opinion.

The program the Republicans are proposing for the US is INSANE...

I have a long list of why all of this is insane. They even have called Kamala Harris crazy... calling a prosecutor insane, on what basis???
Those people are insane and weird they do not care... They are just filthy rich men who have no talent for love and kindness and who can't love their neighbors. And yes it is the most insane thing to support his.

I live around insane people there is no other way to call them. I have seen this pattern in their attitude over and over, that saying is exactly right.

First of all, I never mentioned Einstein so thanks for pointing out a fact that I know very well about and did not need to be reminded about.
I live around people who are behaving this way because for them change is something they can't handle and will fight at all costs and they are literally insane.
If Trump wins he said they will fix voting and it means democracy will be gone for a long time... and yes it will be insane.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
That looks a lot like the Republicans... A second term will not be better it will be a lot worse.

2024-08-22 23:57:01 UTC

If I hit so hard on the Republicans on this account, it is because as a trans person being myself in real life is a challenge because of these people.
All day long I see those people hide behind the bible to look good and use it as an excuse to be mean, weird, and uncivilized.
I wish we could live in a world where everyone was free to mind their business but because a few people decided that they could not be kind because they are miserable creatures, they want everyone to be miserable.
Life has taught me a valuable lesson here, if you want to hit hard those who have offended you, live the best life you possibly can.
Make the right choice in November and give yourself some hope.

Ever since I used a tarp for the compost pile, I noticed the quality of the compost improved in a significant way.
Lately, I have removed the tarp on the main pile and noticed that the pile dried up so fast that most of the life in the pile went out of it.
At first, the only purpose of the tarp was to avoid intruders like squirrels... But now I am not going back.

I think it is beneficial if you use it withe moderation and a cardboard that has no toxic compounds... I've seen farmers use paper fabric instead.

Is cardboard killing your garden?
Charles Dowding has made the #nodig method very popular to create "lazy" #gardens very fast.
For this you have to layer cardboard on top of your weeds and then layer a deep amount of compost.
But is the cardboard actually helping your #garden?

It depends on the volume that you put into it.
If you put those peels here and there it is really not going to affect anything and they will decompose like the other organic matter.
It is one of the composting myths that need to be debunked.

2024-08-17 13:57:54 UTC

If we talk so much about shredding the organic matter in the compost pile, it is because know from experience that not doing this makes the decomposition process a lot slower.
We have noticed that every time we shred our green and brown material it takes no time for this organic matter to be turned into compost.
We also have no smells when we sort what we put into the compost pile.

If the elites do not want to address #climatechange, it's because they prefer to profit from it.
It's easier for them to make short-term gains rather than care for the future.
They don't care for it as long as it does not affect them.

2024-07-31 14:45:35 UTC

If you are looking to improve your composting station, have you considered having a separate pile of dried brown material available at any time?
Those materials can be paper, cardboard, dried leaves, wood chips, dried plants...
Every time you have to add green materials, you can feed the same volume of browns and keep your pile under balance.
This is how we manage to have a compost that never smells bad.

Maga is turning into a cult for Christian people.
We are outraged that a former president can publically declare to Christian people that in 4 years they will not have to worry about voting.
It means that voting won't be an option anymore and that in short, you are about to elect a dictator.
This kind of declaration should never have a content warning because people don't want to hear about politics.

You can compost them as long as you don't put any seeds in the pile.

#3goodthings for the compost pile
1. Tarp it.
To avoid intruders or excess water.
2. Have a pile of brown material.
Every time you add greens you have to balance it with browns.
3. Shred your organic matter.
The finer your organic matter is, the faster it will be decomposed.

The system we use here for our main compost pile is called a wedge system.
We use composting worms to process all the waste we can feed them.
The goal is to create a feeding zone to feed the worms and move them around to a harvest zone where you can just pick up the compost when it is done.
Here is a cool video by our favorite worm composting YouTube channel that explains how you can create an insane amount of #compost.

A kind reminder that climate change deniers will be blocked and reported.
Every day in our #gardens we notice unusual events caused by the weather. Our opinions are not made by headlines and we are not brainwashed by what we read online.
If you want to make a good quality compost you have to be rational, you can't assume things. If a pile turns bad you have to fix it.
Our #climate is being dangerously disrupted by human activity and we are trying to inspire people to change their habits so that they can change the climate.

Composting is a working solution that allows us to fix our landfills and to do our part if we want to help balance the #ClimateChange.
In a web that is spammed be negative content all day long, it is not an easy thing to be a positive voice. And even on a subject like composting you can't avoid conflicts and the negativity.
We live in times of great commotion and denials and it is challenging to preach for people to change their habits. Let's never forget that it is our habits that make us or break us.

Someone from the community asked me lately about our composting routine.
It is a lot of preparation as I spend time collecting brown material and shredding them for the carbon pile. Collecting leaves or wood chips is as well part of this routine.
As soon as I have enough green material available, I sort then to avoid labels and then I shred them. The goal is to have a compost ready a lot faster.
Then I go to the pile with one volume of greens and one volume of browns. I always burry the compostables in the pile to not attract unwanted visitors.
I check the moisture level, I check the compaction by turning the piles and I check how are the composting worms.
This is done if not daily at least every other day depending on the volumes of greens available.

If I often say that composting is a very good #meditation practice this is what I mean.
It gives you the opportunity as you are working to focus only on what you are doing.
You can listen to the hum of the world around you and simply let go of the chatter of the mind.
This is why compost brings me joy, it is a powerful tool similar to meditation.

Have you considered doing aerated static compost piles if you are not doing this already?
The point of this method is to use pipes to insert air into the piles. What is great about this is that you don't have to turn it on and you can also control the heat because with the air you put into the piles, you can heat the temperatures. The only thing you have to do here is control the moisture.

it is critical to fix our landfills.

We can start with managing household waste better by creating composting solutions that will allow us to reduce in a significant fashion this waste.
A compost pile is not another dump site and should not be a problem. It is a solution.

Every time you feed the worms all you have to do is give them the same volume of shredded paper. So for me, it is a valuable and necessary tool.
Does any of you have any experience with such a tool and do you know where I could find one?

The crops that started to germinate in our compost piles like potatoes, tomatoes, or green onions are the crops that have been the most prolific this year.
None of this was planned and it is a shame that I do not master more how to start seedlings from a compost pile.
That is something I will work for in the future.
Have you had volunteer plants that made you happy?

Oh, I absolutely detest FB this group allows me to check what people drop and sometimes you can find real treasures.
The day we can do that on the fediverse I am out.

Our local #seeds and #plants free #library is the best thing our local community has done for #gardeners.
We can give the extra plants that love to volunteer in the #gardens and exchange a few #herbs, #trees, plants, or garden tools that people want to share.
Here is the link to the FB group if you want to find some inspiration and start some for your community. It is my last reason to still use FB.
I sure wish #mastodon had groups like this one.

It is sad but if they would just let me be, I would not have to celebrate the pride, it would not be needed.

I have heard so many times people say oh in this country now if you are not woke you can do nothing.
This is a very gross oversimplification. I live in a conservative neighborhood not by choice. Because I am trans If I decided to be myself, it means that if I ever attempt to start a compositing community service. I will always be the fagot that they will shun.
Starting a service around those people means that you will have to explain to them that you are not the landfill, you are just trying to make our local area better than when I found it.
So no when you are #lgbtq in the USA it is not easy to live in harmony with the people who are supposed to love thy neighbor.
This is why we preferred to start an online account to inspire people to do this.

Happy #PrideMonth
We will celebrate this event all month. We want the #lgbtqia people to feel included here.
I have several letters of the umbrella and I will never apologize to anyone for this. I am a #trans person but I am also #asexual. So I am sorry to disappoint the haters but being trans is not about sexuality.
Being #transgerder means that your body does not match your gender and who you are.
I am a woman born into the body of a man, it took me more than 30 years to process all of that. It means that every day I have to wake up in a body that does not match my gender.
I did not choose any of this and I wish that things were as simple as blue for boys and pink for girls.

When you have a rooster who wants to attack you every night because every spring his hormones make him nuts:
- fear is to know he is going to do that
- courage is to go every night and deal with it
- intelligence is to know he is just a dummy and you can find a way to deal.
- wisdom is to realize he can't help it and that it allows you to be the alpha.
He is not aware I can also compost a rooster. But that is what makes me civilized and not a savage.

The state I live in (South of the US) is pushing a law to ban the mask in public for "health reasons".
This spring I have been so miserable because of the allergies that by necessity I decided to wear a #mask outside again despite taking strong medicine that won't allow me to be safe outside.
There is also a deadly pandemic going on but who cares I guess.
If I wear a mask that is to protect my health and also others.
I have no name to describe how messed up this is.

I would love to see more accounts about #Compost on the fediverse.
Compost is a fantastic tool that can help us balance the #ClimateChange. The more we talk about it, the more we can inspire people to start this wonderful habit.
Our habits make us, and talking about positive habits is a good thing in the toxic environment social media can be.
I would be honored if we had a community of accounts that talk about it, and you can be sure that you will be boosted, and followed and not feel like #Mastodon is a void.

This little video from the channel Primitive Technology, one of my favorites, is an amazing reminder of why we should not use too much ash on clay-dominant soil.
Clay plus ahs is the recipe for cement. It will compact your soil if you put too much of it.
Demonstration... I am so glad someone decided to make a video about this.
