Dung Prices Stink.

The contemporary amateur gardener whether it be right or wrong, place large amounts of expensive additives onto their home garden.  The classic supplements usually include fertilisers (Organic or chemical), mulch and even introducing legumes from the Fabaceae family, in order to fix nitrogen. My dad is a classic, he has tried everything he can get his clumsy hands on to try and grow his Tomato crop. The piles of dynamic lifter or sea weed liquid fertilisers, companion herbs such as oregano and basil and even quite funnily artificial containers advertised on Mid-day television. Whether his Tomatoes conduct a fungi, bacteria, pests and or diseases; I couldn’t care less, what I am sceptical of is his ignorance to introduce the easiest and least expensive additive.

Home-made compost is such an easy thing to create, scraps of soil, foliage, fruit, vegetables and even animal and perhaps human (If your into it) dung; can all be combined to produce nutrient rich soil-like material that can be used to create and maintain a healthy and sustainable garden.

Have fun composting. Lol
