Every good gardener recognises the need to add nutrients to the soil for strong, healthy plants. Good compost will help the soil to retain moisture, improve its structure and much more! Home composting is a brilliant way to recycle some of your household waste and benefit your garden at the same time. Compostable waste that goes into landfill creates methane (a potent greenhouse gas) and makes up around one third of all waste!
This design for a home-made compost tumbler fits the bill perfectly – the maker has made free detailed plans and the materials are readily available. A compost tumbler will reduce the time needed for your compost to be ready – this could be as little as six weeks in warm weather! – and it saves a lot of work turning the compost.
Many beginners make the mistake of putting all of their compostable material into a closed bin or a heap that doesn’t allow air to circulate – the results are likely to put them off composting for life! Decomposition that is anaerobic (without air) leads to a smelly, slimy mess that won’t be very healthy for you or your plants.
The process needs oxygen to work well and the aim is to produce a friable, soft compost that can be handled easily. Some gardeners say it’s “sweet-smelling” but that may be going a bit far! Another important factor when making compost is to use a balance of “browns” (eg leaves, straw, plant stems) and “greens” (eg kitchen waste, grass cuttings).
There is growing concern about the use of plastics in the home and garden, especially where food and crops are involved – this is due to the release of potentially harmful chemicals as they break down or when they are heated. Aerobic compost can become surprisingly hot and for the best results the centre of the mix should be at around 130ºF! Plastics are classified with a system of numbers for recycling so they are easy to identify; food grade plastic (code 5, as used in the featured design) is the safest and PVC or BPA (code 3 and 7) are to be avoided. For a full guide to the system, please see the link under “further resources” below.
Another good idea is to have two separate batches of compost going at the same time – one full bin or tumbler that is turned regularly and one to be filled before transferring the contents to the tumbler when it’s been emptied. This way it’s easier to add the right proportions of ingredients to your compost mix and have a regular supply for your garden.

This Crazy Off Grid Device Literally Makes Drinkable Water From Fresh Air:
According to NASA, the U.S. is expecting a 100-YEAR LONG MEGADROUGHT.
It's already begun. Ask the farmers in California. They know.
Every survivalist knows that water is of critical importance. You NEED an independent water source that you can count on!
As an interesting "survival rehearsal" - imagine that you turned the tap on right now and nothing came out. How long would you last?
But what if there was another water source literally hidden in plain sight. That's right, I'm talking about the atmosphere!
The amazing thing about getting water from the natural moisture in the air... is that it is ALWAYS available.
This gives you real water security!

� What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)
After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.
As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.
Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises...
Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...
Most People Don't Have The Guts To Try This:
An amazing discovery in an abandoned house in Austin, Texas: A lost book of amazing survival knowledge, believed to have been long vanished to history, has been found in a dusty drawer in the house which belonged to a guy named Claude Davis.
Remember... back in those days, there was no electricity... no refrigerators... no law enforcement... and certainly no grocery store or supermarkets... Some of these exceptional skills are hundreds of years of old and they were learned the hard way by the early pioneers.

We've lost to history so much survival knowledge that we've become clueless compared to what our great grandfathers did or built on a daily basis to sustain their families.
Neighbors said that for the last couple of years Claude has tried to unearth and learn the forgotten ways of our great-grandparents and claimed to have found a secret of gargantuan proportions. A secret that he is about to reveal together with 3 old teachings that will change everything you think you know about preparedness:
