Healthy soil and sustainable growing

I too am forced to import livestock bedding for my

>composting and it IS working fantastically well, but
>my neighbors who lack this valuable resource of
>organic materials would NEVER be able to produce
>enough material to even fill one compost been in less

to

>In my opinion - if you are willing to take it, and

>material properly - it is OUR DUTY to take it to

clay.
> Whether or not it was "feasable" - the dirt is now
>soil and for that I am glad.
