Once you compost, what do you do with the compost?
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I spread it in my vegetable garden, of course! It's basically dirt.

lisah! Sorry about your crappy day and stress... and seeing your name reminded me that I still have your house key. I'm not completely sure which one it is on the ol' keychain, though. So, one of these days, we should get together so I can return it. After you tell me which one it is. I think I know, but...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

And Connie's question + flea's answer exactly highlight why I'm getting more dissatisfied with not having food waste/compost as part of the city solid waste services the more I think about it -- as it stands, the city has some decent info on composting and they occasionally have a sale on compost bins, but there's absolutely no motivation to compost for non-gardeners. And even though this is kind of a more-locavore-than-thou area, we have a *hell* of a lot more non-gardeners than gardeners...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
We always wind up with waaaaaaaaaay more compost than we can use, so we mostly give it away to people with real (grass) yards. (As I mentioned before, in exchange for their clippings and dried leaves. It's a good system.)

I was wondering what to do with compost if you don't garden, have much of a yard.
Though I do know you can't dispose of bodies in the compost pile. Or not efficiently.

Vegetal material is best. Meat is not so good. It's smelly.

I think acid is better for bodies. But I'm sure it still leaves plenty of forensic trace.
