The Sodfather - Zeke the Sheik
« on: March 29, 2010, 02:17:26 PM »
Just up the road a tad from where Mike W lives is the home of a very interesting character, The Sodfather or King of Compost as he is known to some and to others he is known as Zeke the Sheik.  First read this article and then view video:

Quite a character!  But the philosophy is good.  It's also a reminder why we should compost....it's so easy!

That was really interesting!  To say his lot was "lush" is an understatement.  He has his own ecosystem going there, we should all be following his example.   8)

Thanks for pointing me to an interesting article.  The fellow is odd but it's often the oddballs with their alternative view of the day-to-day that keep us moving forward.
