RE: Boosting my plants with compost
Good work Eve. That compost looked like the good stuff for sure! And the trees look super healthy 🙂
In the UK it takes more like a year for the compost to break down properly. I dream of a couple of months for such good dark muck 😂
You're looking well. How's the pregnancy going?

OMG one year? But I guess it's because of the climate, right? And what if you had your pile in your greenhouse or in a container indoors, maybe it would be faster?
It's actually funny because at first I would be obsessed with my compost and check every 2-3 days, turn it around to make sure it gets enough air etc. And guess what, it never became as dark as it is now. This time, I totally forgot about it (kept throwing stuff on top of it, but that's it). One day I walk by and was like "damn this looks more than ready!!". =)
Pregnancy is OK, feeling great (for now!) ahaha thanks for asking. Hope you are doing well too?
Yeah you're spot on, it's because of the cold weather and if I put it in the greenhouse it would be much quicker but there's no space in there. Only just space for lettuce in the winter and tomatoes in the summer lol
If you turn the compost less then the heap gets hotter which is why it broke down quicker and made better compost when you lost the turning obsession 😂
Glad the being preggers thing is treating you kindly. I'm still pretty ill myself but I'm just about to start an epic regime of diet and suppliments to try and heal my gut problem so I'm pretty positive about that. I'm gonna try and vlog about it all if the diet and meds don't fck me up too bad.
Who knows, maybe at steemfest 2019 I'll be able to keep up with all the party people instead of succumbing to chronic fatigue lol.
Or make those travel dreams reality in 2019 😎
oh I'm glad you're trying a new diet, I hope it helps! You seem to eat pretty healthy already, so maybe it's just a matter of cutting out a few bad habits =)
I hope to make it too this year, but we will be 3 this time around, so I'm not sure yet how this will all play out.... LOL
Nah... I've got a severe gastrointestinal condition called SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth). It isn't immediately apparent from looking or speaking to me but I'm pretty much in discomfort and stomach pain constantly. But I've put a lot of research into different natural protocol to follow after the last course of antibiotics the GI specialist gave me just made me sicker so I'm hopeful that I can improve my symptoms.
The diet changes are really extreme. Basically nothing with starches in, so no rice no bread no pasta no beans and no sugars. It's pretty much a selection of veg, fish and eggs I am allowed to eat on this diet. It's a super complex condition to treat.
Anyway, might be posting about it soon. lol I could rant about it for England 😂
P.s. it would be great to see you both and the new little steemian at sf4 but I'll forgive you if it's not possible 😉
wow that sounds awful Rowan!!! I really hope it works though =( Sorry to hear you're in constant pain. I can't even imagine...
