Unscramble the Blue Letters
I compost it in this garden. All of the soil you can see there is basically my food, which is generated by the restaurant, and it's growing in these tubs, which I made out of storm-felled trees and wine casks and all kinds of things. Three csmpoot bins — go through about 70 kilos of raw vegetable watse a week — really good, makes fntiatsac compost. A couple of wormeries in there too. And actually one of the wormeries was a big wormery. I had a lot of worms in it. And I tried taking the dried food waste, putting it to the wrmos, going, "There you go, dniner." It was like vgealtebe jerky, and killed all of them. I don't know how many worms [were] in there, but I've got some heavy karma coming, I tell you. (ltguhear) What you're seeing here is a water filtration system. This takes the water out of the restaurant, runs it through these stone beds — this is going to be mint in there — and I sort of water the garden with it. And I ultimately want to recycle that, put it back into the loos, maybe wash hands with it, I don't know.
