That's great, Timothy! I'm glad you've made an account, you might want to try poking around topics that interest you.
Yes! please send me a Purple Moosage and I will give you directions to the farm.
I don't want to post our address here.
If there is interest I can bring perennial kale cuttings. The one I have a lot of, the leaves are green with white edges and fairly ornamental, also delicious.
They live through a Portland winter (should live in your truly passive greenhouse, Paul).
One of the things that took me a while to grok is chop and drop.
Instead of

"die, die, die!!"

you think

"thanks for pulling some carbon dioxide out of the air and bringing minerals up from the subsoil - now you are going to feed my favored plants!"

and then when it comes back up - "great! more food for my apple tree" (or whatever)

I do think the willow feeder system is close to foolproof.

The main way to mess it up is to get urine in with the sawdust and poop, but the problem then is smell, mostly.

You need to figure out a way to get a toilet seat up high enough (my favorite is when there are steps up into the willow feeder and the whole floor is whatever inches off the ground) and you need to figure out how to establish the right airflow if you want it to be smell-free. Those are the main issues.

Please consider pledging to the current Kickstarter so we can create a movie that explains all this! (link above)
It's time to reach out to your networks, share the link to the Kickstarter. Paul's regulars have shown up, we are more than 1/4 of the way there, but the second day is when things can slow down.

Everybody Poops!

Maybe a non-descript brown would be better? I'm not sure I'd want to poop on something that was full of green liquid....



I figured it was the green plastic of the bin inside the box.
