Winter Potato Wine
I'm messing with an indoor container garden in the kitchen. It'sten inches deep and has a diameter of roughly twentyfive inches. theres a few corn plants(dracean), a white grape, a potato(4ft) this other house plant that has a long stem that reaches outward and fans out with smooth edges. I put in half a cup of rabbit gibbletts and chopped carrot, celery, potato skin, nutshells. this thing is the epitome of wild. And I'm just getting started. photo will emerge soon.

You put rabbit giblets in your plant container? 
In the soil?
You have carnivorous plants?
Sorry I didn't follow this one at all, carrots and giblets and all that stuff in the little pot with your house plants... what are you trying to do? Is this thing like a worm bin with plants growing out of it?
Incidentally do you know how big corn plants get? I was one time given a basket of little plants. Amongst them was a corn plant maybe 3" high. Well that was about 15 years ago and that plant is now three plants and they are all brushing against my ceiling! They are in the biggest container that I can manage to move.... I still do lug them out to the screened porch for the warm season and back in for winter.

This brings back the Victorian method of planting grape vines for glasshouse growing.
A very large pit was dug....inside the house if it was a large one...and the carcass of one of the farm animals...goat, horse etc, was buried under several feet of topsoil. The vines was then planted on top.
It would then give feed to the vine for several years..
Good story.....but how true I don't know.
Although in the vine houses from that period there is always a large root pit built into the houses side.
Quite a usefull place to finally shove grandpa ....eh?
