Bio-Organics

Mycorrhizal fungi. Very briefly, these are fungi that associate themselves with the roots of all sorts of plants in a symbiotic relationship that benefits both the fungi and the plant. The fungi make nutrients more available to the plants, increase the number of the plant's roots, increase the number of blooms, shorten the time to blooming/bearing in many cases, and generally improve the plant's overall health. I have used them with great success in my orchard, vineyard and garden and highly recommend the fungi. My source is Bio-Organics I can send articles I have written about the fungi, on request.

Compost toilet

Don't laugh. With our compost toilet we no longer use water flushing toilets, our septic tank doesn't have to be cleaned any more, and we can get rid of most of our kitchen garbage more easily. The compost, which breaks down for one to two years or more before it reaches the cleanout port, is entirely safe to use and is completely broken down. After many years of using a Clivus Multrum toilet, which had problems, we switched to a Phoenix compost toilet and have eliminated almost all work. The Phoenix toilet takes a small amount of maintenance, but the amount is so slight the trade-off on decreased water use and septic maintenance is well worth it. In the city, each Phoenix in use means that much less material going into municipal sewage treatment plants, using precious water and adding to pollution. I like to think of these toilets as a one-family-at-a-time pollution solution.

Ralph E. Hayes, Jr., illustrator, cartoonist.


http://www.rhjunior.com   I found Ralph's work while looking for an illustrator for one of my projects. He's not only a good illustrator, he does some online comic strips that are well written and a lot of fun. Ralph is available for hire for both illustrations and cartoons. You can even commission him to do special stories in his comic strips and get yourself included in them (or at least a "furry" version of yourself.) Be sure to check out all his websites.
