Why are you doing that?

[Bammer]

Not really related but Mrs. Bam’s #1 reason for voting democrat is that they care more about the environment. So isn’t it interesting that every time she gets some new makeup or a new thing of contact solution, I am the one who fishes the cardboard packaging / box out of the bathroom garbage basket and brings it down to the recycle in the kitchen.

The two-party system has got to go!!

Is this a dual chamber model? I saw a different brand that looked very similar for like $80.

Ruddo and I have a bet. He thinks I can't compost in something like this...but I bet I can.

That's what ruddo said. I'll show all the doubters.

Growing up, I remember my grandparents just had a giant open air pile in a shady corner of their backyard for compost. We threw scraps in it all the time and dug for worms.

Trying the same thing here. may take a year but I'm in no hurry.

I believe they call this "cold composting."

We'll see. My memory could be playing tricks on me since this was 30+ years ago. Who knows what else my grandpa was doing with that pile. Fun project with low stakes.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Yes, we will see

you hippies should make a wager. winner gets the loser's favorite bong or something.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Pfft. Who smokes anymore? Edibles all the way

I've been scratching my head thinking about opportunities for some greens in my compost, then I remembered I work in a restaurant.
