Welcome everyone. <BR/><BR/>Waliz, the bottom of the pile is where the good stuff is so you'll have to dig for it. But it's still less work than say, going to the store and loading weed & feed bags in your trunk, then taking them home and spreading it all over you lawn.Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836531596317603886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-80035141103660970052007-10-25T06:28:00.000-04:002007-10-25T06:28:00.000-04:00This post made me smile...I'm a tad compost phobic...This post made me smile...I'm a tad compost phobic..its the whole science of composting that leaves me feeling like its in the too hard box...when really I'm making to much of a big deal out out of it.thishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17965085782223890135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-83355324949175960592007-10-23T11:42:00.000-04:002007-10-23T11:42:00.000-04:00Great, common sense approach to living green.

No reason to get rid of perfectly good bulbs. Your priorities sound about right to me. <BR/><BR/>Jenna, Have a great time pilfering!Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836531596317603886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-343129526944526022007-10-16T10:00:00.000-04:002007-10-16T10:00:00.000-04:00Very well said.

Shoot, I've even caught him doing the compost wander after dinner a time or two, all without me asking.<BR/><BR/>Now 'scuse me. I have a yard full of leaves to rake. (And a few neighbor's piles to pilfer! Why let the street cleaners get it when it will help my tomatos?)Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06185436739526161223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-82722667545120457102007-10-15T22:41:00.000-04:002007-10-15T22:41:00.000-04:00you'll be happy to know that I'm trying my damndes...you'll be happy to know that I'm trying my damndest to compost but I have yet to replace my lightbulbs.<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed your blog action day post and was so hoping you'd sing the praises of compost today.<BR/><BR/>ps I GOTTA GET SOME OF THOSE LIGHTBULBS!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04119471756261855850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-73197420051539810972007-10-15T20:15:00.000-04:002007-10-15T20:15:00.000-04:00Great points, Anthony.

And you're right--I'm a very lazy composter, so I know I have to wait a little longer to get the finished product, but it definitely is easy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15257330.post-92051794434702815712007-10-15T15:33:00.000-04:002007-10-15T15:33:00.000-04:00"Replace the lightbulb in my SUV"...tee hee!

I think a lot of people see composting as some big project: tracking the pile temps, turning/mixing the pile, etc.. I remember when I first started my bin, I researched what I could/could not add, perused forums, and generally freaked myself out. But composting really IS easy, and you're right-do nothing and you get compost anyway! In four years, I've added tons of crap, and it all just "disappears" into the bin (until I scoop it out from the bottom, that is! ;-)lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18133943147518051559noreply@blogger.com
