Went to a Rec & Parks class on how to do it at Centennial Park one Saturday; got our "free" composting bin; and we've been at it ever since. Yes, it *can* smell once those microbes make everything start to rot; but tell your complaining neighbors you're saving the earth; they can get over it. (We don't have close neighbors so I don't have to worry about that.) <br /><br />But don't scare me with your headlines! Ho Co isn't ceasing picking up yard waste; they're just not picking it up IN PLASTIC BAGS. We often put paper lawn bags of stuff out for collection with recycling; usually, small branches that are too big to compost well but too small to use for any other purpose. If the county was going to stop picking those paper bags up I'd probably have to use my fire pit more often. <br /><br />Keep up the good work. And tell your "nosy" neighbors to deal with the compost smell. :-) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
