I have the opportunity to get as much grass as i want that has been cut from the common areas of a my complex for free deliverd to my door. This is grass + all the weeds that are mowed down regularly. I want to use it (less to be moved away by the waste man! And a good resource i hope) - was hoping to use rabbits to eat the grasses, hot compost some, add a small amount to my Worms(not enough to heat it up to much) + use it for bedding for my future quales.
So the idea is feed as much as possible to the rabbits who will live above my worms who will convert the manure. I want to hot compost the rest then try feed the compost to the worms also. Use some for bedding for my quales and supplement there feed with worms (assuming they eat worms). I would love for you all to pick this idea apart, and suggestions on any other ways to use it would be greatly appreciated. I ony have 30m3 in which to work and my pottential amount of grass is up to 20 bin bags of grass per week

Is calendula for bites and skin problems, or does it have other uses?
Do you use dandelion all in one space or spread it around the garden?

I am hoping to get a list going of the "must have plants" that will grow in my area, i stay in cape town south africa. I am especially keen on plants with multiple uses and plants with high yield.
Some that spring to mind:
Garlic - food / pest repelant / medicine
Comfry- bring up nutrients / catch snails under leaves / super charge compost.
Aloe vera - medicine / juice


Anyone feel like adding to this list?


I am also looking for a vine that will provide as much food as posible for my quale. Any ideas?

Keep well keep growing
