  • I want to build an off-grid homestead in Northern Ireland where I will grow and feed my family with chemical free and full of nutrients-packed food on a daily basis. I want to create a healthy lifestyle that my three kids will look back on fondly and to a place they will eventually call home.

    Look up Johnson-su composting technique you can make a compost extract from it and use it as a spray on the leaves all year round. Savage stuff!

      Beware, its deep rabbit hole this soil science
