🌱 If You’re Struggling and Have No Money Right Now...
If you’re struggling and have no money to buy soil, fertilizer, or anything at all — don’t lose hope.
You can bring life back into your ground with what you already have at home.
All you need is a little time, patience, and the right knowledge to make your soil come alive again.
And yes — even dog or human waste can help you do it — safely and naturally.
🌻 Here’s How You Can Do It:
1️⃣ Never use raw poo directly.
Raw waste carries germs that can make you sick. It’s important to compost it first.
2️⃣ Make a simple compost pit.
If you have nothing, just dig a hole or use old tyres, wooden pallets, or buckets.
Layer it like this:
🌿 Grass, leaves, paper, or sawdust
💩 A thin layer of poo
🌍 A handful of soil or ash on top
Repeat until it’s full.
3️⃣ Keep it covered and warm.
Cover it with plastic, cloth, or a lid.
Turn or mix it every 2–3 weeks.
Let it rest for 6–12 months until it smells like soil, not like poo.
4️⃣ Add what you can find.
Kitchen scraps, wood ash, weeds, and even diluted p*e (1 part p*e : 10 parts water) all help bring life back into the soil.
5️⃣ Use it wisely.
After 6–12 months, it’s safe for trees, flowers, or to revive dead soil.
Wait one more growing season before planting vegetables there.
6️⃣ Remember this golden rule:
Never use waste from sick people or animals, or anyone on antibiotics.
Always mix poo with dry matter, never use it alone.
💚 Even with nothing, you can grow life.
Good soil is just dead soil that was loved back to life.
Start small, start simple,
the earth will give back to you. 🌍🌿
