Unstuffed's Weekly Roundup

Hey folks, it's a short one this week, but here's what I've rounded up for ya. Have a great weekend!

Update! OMG, you gotta read this. Will Allen is the king of composting and urban food producing! Swoon...

Some excerpts:
“Creating soil from waste is what I enjoy most,” he said. “Anyone can grow food.”

When you’re producing a quarter of a million dollars’ worth of food in such a small space, soil fertility is everything. Without microbe- and nutrient-rich worm castings (poop, that is), Allen’s Growing Power farm couldn’t provide healthful food to 10,000 urbanites — through his on-farm retail store, in schools and restaurants, at farmers’ markets and in low-cost market baskets delivered to neighborhood pickup points. He couldn’t employ scores of people, some from the nearby housing project; continually train farmers in intensive polyculture; or convert millions of pounds of food waste into a version of black gold.

"Last year, he took in six million pounds of spoiled food, which would otherwise rot in landfills and generate methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Every four months, he creates another 100,000 pounds of compost, of which he uses a quarter and sells the rest."

Great post from the Peak Oil Hausfrau this week.

I want to see this movie.

And for no other reason than I saw Sam Beam perform this last night, here is Iron and Wine covering the Postal Service's 'Such Great Heights'. Swoon....
