We don’t have room for creatures, at least, no creatures bigger than worms. This means we have to pay for manure, which is essential when you’re trying to grow veggies anywhere but particularly if you’re trying to grow them in sand and builder’s rubble.
A friend has a menagerie in her apartment, and regularly disposes of rabbit and guinea pig waste because she has no garden to put them on. Do you see where I’m headed with this everyone?
Yeah, I’m making her bring her pet’s waste products with her next time she visits.
Edit: She came! Bearing two shopping bags full of bunny waste products (and the newspapers that line the cage) then we made chocolate cake. These two matters are unrelated.

Hee! I always do a bit of weeding for thistles around mr friends’ gardens so there’s greens to take home to the chooks. But there’s something really bold about getting friends to do the dirty work for you.

I don’t want to drive over there especially, it would cancel out some of the organic virtuessness. She’s coming here tomorrrow, so that we can bake a cake for her big sister’s birthday, which is a job she volunteered me for without asking.
Of course her big sister is one of my oldest mates and I don’t mind. Some warning would have been nice though.
