As someone who is in the process of converting a grass lawn to clover I can only applaud your decision.

It supposedly also helps choke off weeds. We'll see. I have so many dandelions in the ditch in front of our house I am praying this is true. Because gently caress weeding by hand :argh:

I've been farming my dandelions...and my neighbors!
The greens are edible (although strong) and the flowers can be made into wine! Wine!


Edit: Interplanting clover into grass will make for a lot of wild greenery. The nitrogen hungry grass will enjoy the nitrogen fixing clover and the "dont give a gently caress" clover will continue not giving a gently caress and growing like crazy

I have a Sun-Mar compost toilet I luckily snagged on Craigslist for cheap. It's not for everyone but I like it; definitely saves water and a no brainer to install

Haha. Like I said, it is not for everyone, but with an open mind, it does make sense and its absolutely sanitary

There are many styles of composting toilets which you can read about online but the commercial toilets generally have a thermostat controlled heating element and a vent (either passive or active). After each, ahem, deposit, an aeration media is added (coconut coir, peat moss or sawdust) and a mixing drum is turned. The goal is to keep the composting mass aerated and not overly wet, just moist.
Theres no odor and twice a year you collect rich compost (its insane how much bulk is removed via composting)

I vaguely remember a family member having the same problem with their tank filling up really fast. A lot of it was due to waste water from the washing machine. They ended up running a drain out into their back yard (buried drain tile pretty deep) for the wash water. I'm pretty sure it wasn't entirely.... 'legit'... but it drastically reduced the amount of water going into the tank.

I'm not sure it is something I would personally do, but it helped a lot.

Its legitimate in some municipalities. Look into greywater. Its great for watering fruit trees. Best method is to have the water exit buried into a basin of mulch and make sure to use phosphate free biodegradable soap
