What'll these greens think of next?

Mining for Black Gold: As Berkeley joins most of its Alamenda County peers, food-scrap composting has become a viable business.

Ouch. The use of this product to promote landscaping activities is counterintuitive to the green agenda, isn't it? More lawns mean more watering, and less water available for human consumption.

See Crack, go to Macy's (J/K) this week and try to catch the disco channel dirty jobs guy is at a mushroom farm that grows shrooms with on premise made compost and they use the mushroom jjuice to water and then use the broken or otherwise unusable shrooms themselves in the compost. it was a cool show

Thanks. Don't know what I did wrong.

I was born too late to be really adept at this new internet thing.

I dunno. Landfill space is getting harder to find in these parts ( all over I gather). A good portion of this is used at a big demonstration garden up at one of the parks in the hills that also has a productive sort of petting zoo/working farm.

They're trying to rig it so the produce from the farm brings it to break even point and then they have the kiddie education thing for free.

My mother and her new husband did a Mormon mission in Jakarta a couple years back and they say the air pollution there is like 4 times LA at its worst and a big part of that is from the burning of yard waste. It's a common ritual. One wonders if and when they'll manage to institute a weekly pickup of compostables.

Uhhh Macy's? What, they have their own TV channel?

I think I saw mention of the shroom episode in one of the promos for the dirty job show.

The guys in this operation (the one that wouldn't open in the OP) have some pretty wild sounding hardware. Must be the potential for money in this.

They also had an episode of Dirty Jobs where the guy operated and then cleaned the machine they use to, uh, chew the food waste before it gets composted. It was pretty nasty. I'm just glad they haven't invented smellovision yet.
