Crisis Compost

 

🌪️ Crisis Compost

Because sometimes we break down harder than our compost bins.

🧠 Mental Health Resources

When in doubt, reach out. Your plants want you alive, even if your basil is judging you.

🌿 Garden-Therapy Coping Tips

  • Put your hands in soil. Yes, real dirt. Feel it. Ground it.
  • Name your anxiety something dumb like “Kevin the Chaos Goblin.”
  • Repot a plant (or your mindset). New soil = new energy.
  • Try box breathing: In 4, hold 7, out 8. Works like plant CPR.
  • Play music for your plants. Dance with them through the panic.

💬 You’re Not Alone If You’ve Ever...

  • Cried into a pothos.
  • Apologized to a dying plant but ghosted your therapist.
  • Spoken to your aloe like it's your emotional support friend.
  • Googled “can I grow stability in a tomato cage?”

💚 Final Thoughts from Big Mulch Command.

You don’t have to be blooming every day. Some days you’re mulch. That’s okay.

Growth looks different in every season. Just keep showing up in the sun—even if you’re wilting.

You're Seen. You're Heard. You’re not weird for struggling.

✨ One tomato at a time. We’re making a comeback. ✨

About Me and How We Got Here

 —  A Tale of Dirt, Drama, and Discovering the Divine in the Mundane — Hello there, dear internet traveler — a digital being nestled inside my screen, possibly sipping lukewarm coffee while trying to escape the slow-motion car crash that is modern life. First off, welcome. Second, take a breath — seriously. Inhale. Exhale. You’re still alive, and in today’s world, that is no small feat. That alone deserves a celebratory stretch, a snack, or at the very least, a smug little smile. Now, who am I, you ask? Well… my  real  name is on a “need to mulch” basis. You won’t find it here. Around these parts, I go by  Big Mulch Command  — BMC if you like (and if you  know , you  know  😉). I’m your host, your guide, your occasionally profane narrator through this little blog I’m planting into the internet soil. Why am I here? Why are YOU here? These are big questions, but let’s start with mine. This blog began as a desperate attempt to find myself — to r...

Dirt Therapy & Mental Clarity (Heavy on the Dirt, Light on the Clarity)

Okay. So it finally happened. The last cold snap has yeeted itself into the past, the wind has stopped shrieking like it found out it wasn’t the main character, and now? The birds are out here putting on a full Disney musical—harmonizing like they’re auditioning for  The Voice: Backyard Edition . Nature is in heat, or harmony, or whatever happens when everything suddenly decides to wake the hell up and start doing things again. And watching all of it unfold, I had a thought: “Damn. Same.” Because we, too, go dormant sometimes. But our version isn’t as cute as a tulip bulb in a nap. Nah. Our dormancy shows up in the form of depression, anxiety, grief, burnout, or that weird void-feeling where you stare at a spoon for ten minutes wondering if it’s judging you. It’s not glamorous—but it’s real. And it’s part of the rhythm. The soil rests. Trees rest. Bears literally sleep for months without paying rent or texting anyone back. So maybe we need to stop acting like being tired or sad mea...
