Lazy Locavores & Remote-Control Gardens
nytimes.com — As a result of interest in local food and rising grocery bills, backyard gardens have been enjoying a renaissance across the country, but what might be called the remote-control backyard garden — no planting, no weeding, no dirt under the fingernails — is a twist, in which gardeners are paid to plant and grow crops in people's backyards.

- buckchoris, on 07/24/2008, -2/+4I poop in my garden regularly it makes for good fertilizer for plants .
- gn0stik, on 07/24/2008, -1/+2Uhhh, human poop is not good for gardens. Any kind of carnivore/omnivore poop is bad, really. It might make the plants grow, but the food you grow will make you sick.

- gn0stik, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1Ok, I'm going to spell this out for you, nice and slow. It has NOTHING to do with what you eat, but what KIND of animal you are. Just because you are a vegetarian, does NOT mean you are an herbivore. The bacteria in your stomach, and the length of your intestines, and lack of multiple stomachs for further processing, the Acids in your single stomach, etc, are the obvious differences. You see, TRUE herbivores are built to handle high amounts of fiber, and gain as much nutrition as possible from plants. Omnivores and Carnivores are not. Our digestive systems don't need to be, because of the amount of energy, and protein in MEAT. Therefore, the byproducts are FAR dirtier than they are in herbivores. All kinds of nasty bacteria, and acids.
There are ways to process your own ***** to make it suitable for garden fertilizer, but you said that you literally just poop in your garden.
So, stop ***** in your garden, and for god's sake don't invite anyone over for dinner. Or... do whatever, eat your crap food, but you will get sick.

- senatorpjt, on 07/24/2008, -1/+3I really doubt it's cheaper to hire a gardener than to just buy the ***** at a supermarket.
- alexs5, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1I don't think the article's arguing that- I think it's more about taste and keeping things organic.
- dxgg, on 07/24/2008, -0/+4Awful opening paragraph. Who has time to get to the farmer’s market? Er...the same time it takes to go to the grocery store?
- beauley, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1Most of us have at one time or other visited grandma's house to partake in her newly harvested tomatoes, or even freshly picked onions in the quaint back yard garden patch. You knew they were fresh because the garden soil had to be washed off those that were dug up.

Grow a Garden, Harvest Truly Fresh Vegetables - cleverhanz, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1Locavore is a horrible collection of letters, please do not treat it as a word. It doesn't even rise to the level of wanker Latin.
