Thank you for the in depth information, it’s very helpful.

However, this subject could be re-visited to clarify and/or elaborate on the authors definitions of ingredients. Such as: “Kenaf” appeared to be defined as a “waste product” where in fact it is quite an amazing plant. “Sand,” Gather your own sand, really? Uh, better check the laws in your state first. What about the fool, upstream, who dumped, God knows what? Or the parasites that will invade your body and destroy your health? “Compost” the author touched on the subject of “sewage sludge,” but there’s plenty more dangers than the plethora of pharmaceuticals, dino-goop and industrial chemicals. My last rant, “Vermiculite” may be touted as safe, well, as long as the gardener dawns a respirator. Respectfully and Just sayin’ (Please forgive my soapbox, my intention is Not to be rude, really!)
