Compost

She's a fascinating woman.

And I'm going to recommend a great visual piece from Bevan Shields, who works at the Sydney Morning Herald.

He put this together and it's one of those cool visual ones that has interactive pictures and graphics.

And that was published around the time Alex Greenwich introduced the bill back

in June.

So we'll put links to those as well as a piece from the University of Melbourne that looks at some of the other alternatives to burial and cremation that we didn't have time to get into here in the episode notes today.

Thank you for listening.

And remember to share this episode with your mates who want to hear the backstory to the big news stories.

Will an ordinary backyard compost pile reliably destroy plant diseases? Now, do you know what a compost pile is, Allison?

Yes, it's a pile full of...

Compost.

Yeah, the compost.

And in theory, there's heat in there.

So do you need to warm up your compost? Put a hair dryer on it?

That's a great question.

Compost depends on heat, a little bit of green, a lot of brown.

So it's just contained and heavy.

But compost, so don't make your garbage that heavy.

Compost also.

Okay, great.

Hi, Matt.

So it's a very comprehensive book that's widely available.

And I've written one called Compost, which is about making compost particularly and the value of compost and using it, how to use it.

My latest book is called Grow Together, which is not exactly companion planting, but it's about interplanting and overlapping, making more of a small space by starting some small plants when they're very close to other big ones that are going to finish in, say, four weeks.

So I'd say those three books together could be enough to really set you on your way.
