About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Enjoy!

ABOUT ME

I enjoy glitter combined with 80's music, PBR, and my wonderful friends here in the Cap City. And hammocks. I love to adventure and frolick about, but the reality of a full time job and student loans keeps me put.

PHILOSOPHY

Have ye thy imagination?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got lost in the Sahara desert in the middle of the night. It was quite scary. One thing to keep in mind while attempting to navigate back to a tent site: the earth rotates and those stars are on the move!

Teach, Learn, Share

How to make a wonderful organic fertilizer if you live in South America.

You Will Need:

A large sack of bananas (this provides potassium)
Bean plants or other legumes (this provides nitrogen)
Ash (this provides phosphorus)
Manure (yummy)
Molasses (food for microorganisms)
Yeast (microorganisms)

mix well, add water and cover with plastic. stir pile each following day for a month while adding water to keep the moisture. if done properly, the pile should start to heat up. this is a very important process to making the fertilizer effective. after a month or 2 the pile should be ready to use. much easier than betty crocker.
