{"product_id":"systems-pumpkin-loop","title":"The Pumpkin Loop: Turn Halloween pumpkins into eggs, fuel and soil · Alt Ordo Systems Guide","description":"\u003cp\u003eA jack-o'-lantern is not trash on November 1st. It is about 92% water wrapped around sugar, fiber and seeds, and every part of it is somebody's food. This Primer shows you how to sort a pumpkin by its condition, then send it down the routes that fit: seeds to the oven, flesh to the hens, soft pulp to black soldier fly larvae or a digester, and everything else into the soil with November's leaves. The rules are short and firm: nothing painted, sprayed or mouldy goes to an animal, and no carved pumpkin goes to dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis guide helps you sort any Halloween pumpkin in ten seconds, then route it safely to your plate, your hens, a black soldier fly bin, a biogas digester or the soil, and grow a pumpkin next year that survives a Southern summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's inside.\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 pages in 7 chapters (At a glance, Where it works, How it works, Size it, Set it up and run it, Rules and permits, How it connects), then the sources and a notes page. 6 numbered figures drawn for this guide.
