Normal conversations in our household, in Spring gardening season:

Brother, Jerry: Do you want my Fall/Winter collection of nail clippings for your gardening stuff?

Me: I sure do. It's another form of calcium.

Brother, Jerry: I'll leave you my jar in the greenhouse.

Me: Excellent. Thank you.

I'm that neighbourhood weirdo who went around my 'hood, with little leaflets, asking for unwanted fish parts/meat bones/coffee grinds donations for my gardening purposes. I have no shame when it comes to trying to source free useful stuff for my gardening efforts.

@PhoenixSerenity My friend worked out a deal with like 5 different local coffee shops to take all their used grounds. He built a little carrying cart for his bike and would do his ground route once a week and come back with a massive haul. Their garden was EPIC

@janeadams I had a system like that going with local cafes for tea/coffee grinds & local restaurants for veggie waste! I fed my chickens with some veggie waste & everything else went into my composts!
