Hydrangea Compost

Hydrangea Compost .... I always peruse the Google News. Regress, thank you for coming back to my 2 readers. I was gone longer then I thought! Back to googling over Google. I came across this article:

Reporting from Ellensburg, Wash. — 

 

Washington has become the first state to legalize “human composting,” an alternative to conventional burial and cremation that produces topsoil suitable for gardening.

Gov. Jay Inslee signed legislation Tuesday permitting the practice, described by proponents as an eco-friendly form of final disposition. Inslee, a Democrat, is making climate change the focus of his presidential campaign, and advocates calculate that natural organic reduction — as composting is more delicately termed — will save about a ton of carbon emissions for each body.

The law, set to take effect May 1, 2020, paves the way for a Seattle business to build the nation’s first funeral home offering the service. The company, called Recompose, will place bodies in steel vessels with wood chips, alfalfa and straw, enabling microbes to break down bodies into soil in about a month.

Recompose plans to charge about $5,500, more than no-frills cremation and less than burial in a casket.

My Eldest and I had a good laugh! I told her that is the way I want to go! "Just compost me up and put me in around your Hydrangea bush! " It is funny because these flowers turn a blue color if there is a great deal of acid in the soil and other colors if there is low intensity soil. (Sort of like that, quick overview!) So if I am compost and the flowers are blue......well.

She was all game for that and called it "mompost". I will just be bagged up and labeled MOMPOST and set in the garage and found when needed. 

I will keep giving after I am no longer. I am down for that!

Go and do and plant some hydrangeas just incase you come into some mompost for yourselves!
