• However small your garden, you must provide for two of the serious gardener's necessities, a tool shed and a compost heap. A wire bin takes up negligible space and can be concealed by shrubs, or you can make a small pit into which you sweep leaves and clippings, but try not to fall into it.

  Ann Scott

• Once you can open yourself to joy, you feel as if you've transformed your sadness into illumination, which is really all that art is. All we want to do is transform the negative emotions into light. We want to compost them into light.

• Estoy abierto a la acusación de que veo el compost como un fin en sí mismo. Pero cultivamos unos malditos tomates rojos de verdad, como los que no se consiguen en las tiendas. Y patatas, judías, lechugas, berzas, cebollas, calabazas, coliflores, berenjenas, zanahorias, pimientos. Tierra en tu propio patio trasero, produciendo cosas que comes. Hace que te preguntes.

• All sorts of dung and compost contain some matter which, when mixed with the soil, ferments therein; and by such ferment dissolves, crumbles, and divides the earth very much. This is the chief and almost only use of dung. ... This proves, that its (manure) use is not to nourish, but to dissolve, i.e., divide the terrestrial matter, which affords nourishment to the Mouths of vegetable roots.
  His underestimate of the value of manure.

• Basta con recoger esa basura con la que te cruzas cada día de camino al trabajo. O cerrar el grifo cuando te lavas los dientes desde lejos. O hacer compost. O comprar papel 100% reciclado. O utilizar tiendas vintage y mercados de segunda mano. O dedicarse por completo a comprar sólo verduras de origen local. Es extraordinariamente fácil incorporar opciones sostenibles a nuestra ajetreada vida cotidiana.

• Digamos que si estos científicos hubieran utilizado su brillantez para el bien en lugar de para el mal, los coches desprenderían vapor de agua y dejarían compost fresco tras de sí; nadie pasaría hambre; nadie estaría enfermo; todos los edificios serían a prueba de terremotos, bombas e inundaciones; y toda la economía mundial se habría derrumbado y habría sido sustituida por otra basada en el valor del chocolate.

• So let's not get frightened when the children read fantasy. It's the compost for a healthy mind. It stimulate s the inquisitive nodes, and there is some evidence that a rich internal fantasy life is as good and necessary for a child as healthy soil is for a plant, for much the same reasons.

• Uno escribe una historia así [El Señor de los Anillos] no a partir de las hojas de los árboles que aún hay que observar, ni por medio de la botánica y la ciencia del suelo; sino que crece como una semilla en la oscuridad a partir del molde de hojas de la mente: a partir de todo lo que se ha visto o pensado o leído, que hace tiempo se ha olvidado, descendiendo a las profundidades. Sin duda, hay mucho de selección personal, como en el caso de un jardinero: lo que uno echa en su montón de abono personal; y mi molde está evidentemente hecho en gran parte de materia lingüística.

  J. R. R. Tolkien

• Supongo que lo que siempre me preocupa es la necesidad de un campo, de un abono rico, para que florezca cualquier arte. Pero por muy aislado o poco escuchado que te sientas, si tienes la necesidad de escribir poesía, te ves obligado a escribirla, sigues adelante, haya resonancia o no.

• I thought I'd love to be a gardener because I grew up with a vegetable garden and I love being close to the Earth and growing things. At my home in L.A., I have a great garden and I grow all kinds of things. I even have a worm farm! The worms help create organic compost out of kitchen scraps.

• I've frequently been asked over the years who Lily Savage was based on and I've always answered that it was no one in particular and she was just a figment of my imagination. The truth, I realise now, is that Lily owes a lot to the women I encountered in my childhood. Characteristics and attitudes were observed and absorbed, Aunty Chris's in particular, and they provided the roots and compost for the Lily that would germinate and grow later on.

• In my opinion, if there is one extremely legitimate use for petroleum besides running wood chippers and front-end loaders to handle compost, it's making plastic for season extension. It parks many of the trucks [for cross-country produce transportation]. With the trucks parked, greenhouses, tall tunnels, and more seasonal, localized eating, can we feed ourselves? We still have to answer that burning question.

• En mi principio está mi fin. En sucesión Las casas se levantan y caen, se desmoronan, se extienden, se eliminan, se destruyen, se restauran, o en su lugar Hay un campo abierto, o una fábrica, o una carretera de circunvalación. Vieja piedra a nuevo edificio, vieja madera a nuevos fuegos, Viejos fuegos a cenizas, y cenizas a la tierra Que ya es carne, piel y heces, Hueso de hombre y bestia, tallo de maíz y hoja.
