I would agree. Biochar and charcoal are fundamentally different, and it's unfortunate that the two get conflated. Biochar is produced at higher temperatures then charcoal and doesn't add to atmospheric carbon dioxide levels during production (if produced correctly). On the other hand charcoal is produced at lower temperatures and is not clean to produce so does add to atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.

this seems like a pretty good general overview: https://rosysoil.com/blogs/news/biochar-vs-charcoal

I agree. skip the generator and skip batteries for now.

Put some ice blocks on your fridge that will help it stay colder longer and run less often. Also add some rigid foam insulation around the outside of it and the door (don't cover any cooling coils or fans or anything like that) OR get a small chest freezer and use it as a fridge, you can often find them used for cheap or free. Freezer tend to be better insulated also a top opening chest freezer is less convenient to store/organize stuff in but it holds cold better because it doesn't dump out the door every time you open it.

Yeah they really last a long time in the fridge. I second this. Man I wish I had a too much avocado problem. 😛

Thanks for the review. Might give it a try.

So I initially voted to keep down votes disabled, but now I'm thinking about switching my vote.

My initial though was essentially everything you just said. But now I've noticed a few comments that are just sort of negative in spirit, negative sarcasm, or basically just not a very kind. But they are reply's to a parent comment that is useful. I feel bad for the parent comment, because someones reply is just mean spirited. Will those kind of comments actually sink? maybe downvotes are useful to show that you appropriate the top comment but not the sarcastic reply?

I dunno just thoughts.

maybe pot worms? https://soil.evs.buffalo.edu/index.php/Enchytraeidae

Awesome thanks for the recommendation. It's on my list now.

Are you trying to be permitted by the county/local gov?

It's definitely possible to do graywater separate and compost human waste. I've done composting in the past and it can work great. But getting the county (I'm from the US) to sign off on it is really depends on your local government.

One great resource in general is the The Humanure Handbook By Joseph Jenkins

I listened to all three. It was hard to stop and take breaks. I think they just got progressively better. Such a good series!

yeah i can understand that. I think every group of people can feel uncomfortable around another group of people. my general stance is to let everyone create the community that they feel comfortable with. although I think that stance can be used in the wrong way, and is used to perpetrate patriarchy and toxic culture. its complicated.

Interesting. Never heard of it. Seems overly complicated to make it gender based. But I like the idea.

I like the idea of a Random Folks shed lol

That's so cool! Such an amazing resource. I wish more library's did that.
