| Ohh the back breaking work | | As a lot here know I do a LOT of gardening of veggies, fruits, and flowers etc. I also have my own composting container. This is a bin is all. See attatched photo. It is a 30 gallon bin I think. I have to add to it and turn it with a pitchfork by hand. It is a lot of hard, back breaking work, but man the compost sure helps the plants all thrive very well. Do you do your own composting? Do you have the tumbler type of barrell or old fashioned like mine? Do you just have an area where you throw stuff to compost on it's own? What all do you ad to your compost pile/bin?

The sewage people don't want it down the toilet because it has a lot of grit on it and mucks it up. So there's really nothing environmental that you can do."This got my attention, garbage bags explode if they have dog waste in them? Because that is what I do..Though I am not in the city, I hate to think that an exploding garbage bag is due to my throwing away my dog dirt..So I may consider this, since there are some spots in my yard where I can do this.
