A process involving turning a body into nutrient-rich soil. Martha saying, “I’m going to be composted. When one of my horses dies, we dig a giant hole really deep in one of my fields. We have a pet cemetery and the horse is wrapped in a clean white linen sheet and very carefully dropped down into this giant lovely grave. I want to go there. When podcast host Shan Kllinger pressed Martha on the legalities of burying a body in the backyard, Martha replied, “It’s not going to hurt anyone.
