The Geobin compost bins now ship with a set of one-piece keys instead of plastic nuts and bolts. Seems like a win... only downside is that it didn't include rods to help fix the bin to the ground like the old version did.
After a huge storm last weekend, tons of leaves came down on the block. By Monday they had dried out and I was there for the sweeping. I put my shredder to use and converted 3 bags of leaves into one full, dense bag of shredded brown fuel. I added a bunch of leftovers, the compost toilet bucket, weeds I picked from the side yard, and cat food that the picky guy doesn't want to eat anymore. On a side note, my cat seems to only want the cheap processed crap. I tried feeding him some super good stuff with real meat in it, and he doesn't want it! Anyway, it makes great fuel. My pile has been at or above 131 F for a few days now. Yay! According…
