 Most people flush and forget. But in this radical homesteading guide, we explore how composting — from banana peels to human waste — can completely transform your soil, your garden, and your mindset. From building compost bins using recycled Caribbean materials, to raising a worm army in your kitchen, to the controversial but life-changing practice of humanure composting — this episode doesn’t flinch.Why are we still treating waste as a problem when it’s nature’s greatest gift to the soil?
What secrets did our Caribbean elders already know about managing waste before toilets and trash cans took over?
And what would it mean to truly live in a zero-waste cycle, where nothing is thrown away and everything returns to the earth?Listen in, take notes, and challenge the way you think about what you throw away.Would you try composting your own waste if it could regrow a forest? Or is some soil just too sacred to touch? Let us know in the comments.
