I’m doing my best to implement Permaculture principals into mine and my families lives, and quite proud at the progress we’ve achieved so far. Except for baby/toddler products. Especially nappies and wet wipes. These are the bane of my Permaculture conscience. You can’t compost them, and we go through them like no tomorrow. I’m open to trying more sustainable products, but the problem is getting my wife on board. As most parents, myself included, convenience in the disposal of soiled nappies and having wet wipes always on standby especially when you are out to wipe the kids mess, is hard to give up. I’ve looked into compost able wet wipes but far out they are so much more expensive to the product we currently use, and let me tell you, we go through them like no tomorrow.
So annoying that you can’t compost them either.
I’ve thought of maybe having a small spray bottle with water on standby in places where the kids will make mess and use that and a compostable napkin in place of the wet wipes.
But yea, it’s going to be hard to break the habit of these two particularly. As open as I am to implementing positive changes in this regard, my wife will not have a bar of it, and I can’t really blame her, considering that she is spending the most time dealing with their mess. I’m looking forward to when they don’t need neither anymore which is a good year or two away.
Anyone here have any suggestions for good ways to approach this?

Do any of y’all have a preferred method of quantifying soil health? I’m particularly interested in assessing a fruit tree orchard. I would love to have a way of comparing parts of our orchard and identifying which areas need more work vs. which areas are doing better based on our current practices.
