  5. Obviously the Contra Costa Dump has minimal organic garbage in it.

    How do I know?

    Because all your Crazy Bay Area Seagulls fly over to the Merced County Dump in the Central Vally by the thousands where they dine like there’s no tomorrow.

    Feed your #@#@$@$# birds willya!

  15. I surpised at the people in the video composting in those dinky little bins. I have a small yard and I could probably fill that thing up once a month.

  19. Now that our rooftop wind turbines and solar panels are up, I am teaching the kids to compost. Very helpful clip, saved to my bookmarks. Check out my clips if you are interested in wind and solar home stuff. Thanks.

  20. Just keep watching videos on composting and you will learn. Also look up worm composting. That is even better.

  21. there is no issues with adding meat, dairy or oil, just nonsense being spread about. How do you think nature decomposes corpses? I compost everything, just give nature enought time to work through it. There is a great video on thermophillic composting on here that explains it in detail.

  22. i dont believe thats true, after a forest fire new trees sprout in abundance. wood ash is high in nitrogen. every year we would take all the branches and limbs that fall out of the tree and burn the in a big brush pile in spring, it puts nutrients in to the ground, and the unburnt char-coal like wood is good for soil

  23. Ya, disturbing any kind of compost can slow it down. As long as you have enough ventilation/drainage/brown materials it should be fine not to turn it.

  24. Do what you described, but mix in plenty of dry leaves/newspaper/cardboard and stir the pile once in a while. Don’t add any meat, dairy or oil. That’s basically the gist of it.

  25. I think that should be fine, as it originally came from wood. Even if it doesn’t decompose it’ll mix harmlessly into the final product.
