Waste Not - Want not: Liquid Gold

There is a resource that we are misusing in the most dire manner: Liquid Gold

Everything you'll ever need to know about collecting and using your own...


I bought my copy at the Green Store, Nanaimo about 2 years ago, went out and got ready my 2 - 20L. containers for storage and diluting the product.

Frankly, I prefer direct application, it is less messy and there are additional benefits like "marking my territory" against local stray dogs and other local wildlife. Along with the direct application of the LG, it requires dilution or else widespread dispersal to prevent nitrogen burns.

Wife, Annamie, formerly living on residential lots in Manila and Cebu, Philippines and then a high rise in Mississauga and Calgary, Canada has needed a little more encouragement to make her contributions. The four acres we are on provides more privacy than she is used to, if you discount the 30,000 people going by on the Trans-Canada Highway every day  and the people flying in on airplanes on a final approach to Nanaimo airport. So A. is much more likely to participate after dark or when I'm ensconced on our only "throne" which is hooked to an on site septic system...
