The man's considerable intellectual ability is not in doubt, gold is a waste product left behind over centuries to ferment.

But the result of a vindaloo after 20 pints of lager will need centuries to turn into gold.

That's for the plants. What I do crave for my compost is cardboard and paper. The nitrogen is usually way too high, and carbon low, so any paper etc that I can get goes on there.
