httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le-Nmg0q9jE I've been having a lot of fun finding compost sifter videos on the internet. This one is insanely well done. The gears are now turning in my head to make a simplified/minimized version of this...good luck to me, this is a super well-thought out design.
When I visited home for the holidays, I had to take a look and see what my mom's old composting area looked like. This really spun me out because I remember making this little frame out of cinder blocks a long time ago and it looked good. What's funny is that if you want to compost, you can make do with this just fine...just make space and add stuff to it in appropriate quantities. Next to this was a nice looking compost bin...again, it does the trick. You can add material nice and high and it stays fairly organized. Note the slits near bottom which double as a spot to anchor it to the ground as well as provide some needed air circulation. Way to go, mom! To start composting,…
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rngeISVdbW8 Can you compost dryer lint and vacuum dust? It's a tough call. Both of these items may contain synthetic fibers, but if you know what you have, the answer may be simple. Stuff to consider: What's your clothing made of? Apparently dryer lint consists mostly of pieces of cotton coming off your stuff. However, I'd imagine there's some synthetics in there. I think vacuum bags are a much simpler answer as they're mainly dirt, skin, hair and dust. What do you think? Leave a comment and let me know!
