Default SPAMing bins

We provide the best SPAMMING


Composting SPAM is a bad idea -- it gets very smelly and is sure to attract
raccoons and other bothersome beasts.


This is by far the best compost bin:

I've been using mine more than twenty years and is still like new
(only composter with a 25 year guarantee). My neighbor bought one of
those $600 off the ground rotating drum composters (I told him not
to), he said its a POS and stunk/stank but produced no compost, only
fermented sludge. Last year he bought one like mine and loves it. It
cost about three times more now than what I paid some 20 years ago but
still a bargain because it works well and lasts long. I put all sorts
of household waste in it plus gardening bits, but no meat products
(crows here eat all meat trimmings). It's not possible to compost off
the ground. Microbes do the composting, earthworms do not compost,
earthworms eat the microbes and produce castings, earthworms do not
eat kitchen trimmings, they eat the microbes that are attracted to
kitchen scraps. There's mine, however my critters are much better at
adding compost and no work on my part:
