RE: Productive Bed - Turn a cowshit and old window into food
Awesome!!! Composting alchemy for the win~
That's a respectable garden you're tending! Enough for yourselves & 2 neighbors is SO COOL! Looking forward to hearing about the progress of your projects.
We're a 3.5 acre sustainable community in Arlington, Texas. We have a half-football-field-sized garden, numerous raised beds, and we have numerous wildcrafted plants and trees ringing the property. We grow & receive enough in trade & donation to feed 40K free meals a year.
Compost is totally elemental to the whole process; like I say, we really value our shit.
I explored your website and yes, I have to admit you do a really great job, truly inspiring way on how to help a local community. With such yields, I would not mind to buy a freeze-dryer and produce long-lasting food packs which can be distributed nicely. It would be awesome to offer these packages to travelers who care about healthy snack on the route, while supporting people who actually can not afford to eat healthy food.
With such leftovers, I can imagine that you can adopt a business model similar to TOMS shoes - 1 pack for a customer, 1 pack for those in need.
Challenging, but great way how to do socially responsible business.
Funny enough motto "We value our shit" :D
