COMPOST
you can do a simple small compost pile (dont have to do the 3x20 i do)
can buy the black plastic rolly thing or the black plastic box-like one or the circular one
you can get fence wire and make a circle or can get panels of wire and make a rectangle one
2 ft or 3 ft or 4 ft etc on each side
what you put in it is all the same
would start with small sticks in the bottom this allows for some air to get in bottom
then add layers of leaves etc no meat or it will smell and animals will love your compost pile
add dirt or compost or garden soil in layers with leaves this adds the good bacteria/fungi stuff that
are needed to help breakdown every thing
add scraps or leftovers from kitchen yard or garden
can add manures not dog cat or yours
keep it moist but not wet
or can just throw stuff in let it sit and eventually it will compost itself or can turn it occasionally with shovel
or a large fork keep a layer of newspaper or leaves on top-ths slows down the drying out of the pile
usually need brown stuff(eg leaves) and green stuff(eg grass clippings are great, veggies from kitchen)
if you use the bad stuff-weed and feed-dont put grass clipping in your compost as the bad stuff may get in your compost and kill or inhibit your plants growth when you use it
good luck composting
CHOLESTEROL CONTINUED
the first time i measured my lipids i said oh ****
my total cholesterol was 325 my ldl-lousy, bad-was 230 nl<130
my hdl-happy, good- was 23 nl>40 my tg(triglycerides)-ugly-was 450 nl<150
what this meant was at the age of 40 was destined for heart attack or stroke at a young age
today my numbers are total cholesterol 190 ldl 90 hdl 40 tg 70
here is how i did it:
am on a american heart association diet, heart healthy diet except for snickers chocolate pie
these are easily googled we eat a lot out of garden we cook most of our meals
we dont eat out often but when we do we eat what we want
its the carbs and fats and the amount you eat that will get you
quit smoking at 25
do regular exercise 1 call it ranch aerobics 3-4 days a week
doing this got my numbers to total 210 ldl 140 hdl 32 tg 100
with family history of heart disease and stroke needed these numbers better
i take niacin to raise my hdl(men if you want to know what a hot flash is like just take a niacin without
an aspirin-you will be much more sympathetic when your wife gets one of these)
i take a statin drug to lower my ldl-am able to take a low dose generic cheap one because my diet has lowered my ldl so much
i take aspirin 81 mg a day because am at risk of heart attack and stroke
remember dont take these meds unless you discuss it with your pcp(thats what i am)-primary care provider
next time signs and symptoms of a heart attack or stroke
sorry about this all ran together today will try to fix this -google fixed it
