Compost as an Alternative to Fertilizer

Leave a Comment

Ok, this is just funny. While Yolanda Vanveen is completely educated in her field, this is comical. But, she really does bring up a good point—compost as an alternative to fertilizer.

The funny part to watch is her comments about fish and bone meal fertilizers, especially the fish part. It’s just a two minute video, and it’s a hoot. When did fish meal not become natural?

Her point is a good one, but maybe not stressed enough. Adding compost to flower beds does make a difference. And if it’s good compost, it will be rich in nutrients. Thus, being a great alternative to fertilizer.

But, it’s still funny to watch her talk about not wanting to add bodily fluids to her gardening beds. What? And, she doesn’t think fish are natural. Again, what?
