Hmmm, never thought of that.
I compost damn-near everything (except meat and dairy) - get about 14 wheel-barrows full of dark soil every spring.
Of course, I do get tomato plants sprouting all over the place.....

Funny, I see more conservatives compost and recycle than I see liberals - and we're supposed to be the planet-killers.

when I was stationed at the Coast Guard Reserve Training Center I got a load of silt from the “glass house” the sewage treatment plant there. I had a quarter acre garden and boy did all the plants grow like crazy. I couldn't give away the zucchini as fast as it grew. Only problem was the cherry tomatoes that they served in the garden made it all the way through the system and were sprouting all over my garden. Tough little seeds them cherry tomatoes.

No kidding...

I've been composting for years. My garden could be considered organic by the strictest liberal organic label standards. I hang out my laundry to dry WHENEVER possible, (I've even gone into January one year because we had such a beautiful fall).

We walk where we can for errands in town. I combine trips into town when I have to go so that I'm not running out for every little thing.

Aside from saving the planet, it's much easier on the checkbook.
