Prickly Pear Cactus

Howdy folks,
I did a search on this in the group and saw a lot of interesting
postings on Prickly Pear Cactus ( By the way for many new folks
checking in, you can find out a lot in a hurry just by doing a search
within this news group on your question )
A question I had was can you compost Prickly Pear Cactus. I assume
that anything that grows and rots will eventually rot down to a usable
form, but I was wondering if anyone had actually tried it.
I was thinking of building a wood and wiremesh bin off the ground,
with a tarp under it, to prevent any from falling through and just
filling the sucker and letting it rot down.
Seems strange,but I just have this affection for bio mass.
We noticed that, Steve. Is there a pooh-pooh thing from childhood or...?
Actually, one of the most interesting plane rides I ever had was sitting
next to two major Bio Mass initiators. They were telling me how they were
working with Russia or Poland or...
I have forgotten which country, and they want to get countries to change
from sewage treatment plants into Bio Mass Energy producing plants. They are
safer than nuclear energy (no more Chernobyl) they said, and think of using
people's pooh-pooh to run our electric lights and A/Cs.
Kewl, said I. Best to You Steve! -- LL
