A Simple way to Make Hot Compost Fast.

By
  Hot Composting.   There are three main ingredients that make a good compost. Carbon, Nitrogen and Water. Approximately one third o f each ingredient by weight . First is Carbon. T hi s can be dry leaves, grass clippings and spent garden plants or even dead weeds. Always save your leaves. Trees are deep rooted and have lots of trace minerals and carbon. Second is Nitrogen. Kitchen scraps or coffee grounds are a good source. Animal manures, like chicken, horse, cow or sheep are good. Green matter like grass clippings or green leaves, also h ave Nitrogen and are a good source. Bean or Pea vines and other legumes while still green are excellent. Third is Water. Chicken litt er is excellent for compost , it i s very high in Nitrogen, and all three of the primary nutrients, N-P-K, and contains most of the important trace minerals. Chickens are usually feed some form of calcium like oyster shell, so tha...

Atrazine causes intersex problems across many species

By
   There are many problems with commercial agriculture. The use of many thousands of toxic Biocides of many kinds cause deformations and malformation in many animals. These include fish amphibians, birds and people. What kind of unintended effect are known for the herbicide Atrazine in disrupting hormone functions in animals, including Amphibians, fish, Birds and mammals? Atrazine , an herbicide widely used in agriculture, has been studied for its potential effects on hormone function in various animals, including amphibians, fish, birds, and mammals. Here are some of the unintended effects that have been observed: Amphibians: Atrazine exposure has been linked to feminization of male frogs , leading to the development of female reproductive organs (gonadal intersex) and altered mating behaviors. It can also affect thyroid hormone levels, metamorphosis, and immune function in amphibians. Fish: Atrazine exposure in fish has been shown to disrupt the endocrine s...

Methane and the Climate Change Problem. Can We Capture and Use it? Moving Away from Fossil Fuels?

By
  Methane clathrates (Think of Dry Ice made from Methane) are common constituents of the shallow marine geosphere. Methane hydrate is a problem for the climate change problem and heating of the atmosphere when it comes out into the atmosphere. What kinds of plans can you devise that could capture methane from permafrost or the Arctic coasts? Capturing methane from permafrost or Arctic coasts is indeed an important strategy for mitigating climate change, as methane is a potent greenhouse gas. Here are some plans that could be devised to capture methane from these sources: Methane Recovery Wells: Similar to natural gas extraction, methane recovery wells could be drilled into permafrost areas or Arctic coastlines where methane emissions are high. These wells would capture methane as it escapes and direct it to collection systems for proper storage or utilization. Methane Oxidation: Another approach is to encourage methane oxidation, a natural process where methane react...
