I have started a compost pile to use on my garden next year. The pile has
been in place for several months now, but nothing is happening. Here is
what I have in it: Plastic milk jugs, lava rocks, concrete cinders, several
pairs of old boots, a deer that was killed by a car, and a couple of bags of
household garbage. So far my pile looks nothing like the bags of compost I
can buy at garden stores. Whats the secret to it? Also, how are you
supposed to keep the odor down when composting animals? My neighbors are
really getting angry at me.



You forgot to pee on your compost pile. The Nitrogen from human pee will
activate the compost.

AFA whining neighbors: get more pitbulls and do more target practice in
your yard. If the .22 isn't loud enough, go ahead and kick for a 12 ga.
shotgun. Those are loud enough to let the creeps know that you aren't a
person to be trifled with, but the shot can be caught by a decent
backstop, so you won't go to jail for accidentily killing the
insufferable old bat who lives next door and has the small
barking-dog-from-hell.

To limit the smell from decomposing mammals, sprinkle the corpses with
lime. It's available at your local building supply store and it's cheap.

Hope That Helps,

Jan

PS: Quit composting your plastic milk jugs. They make dandy water
jugs, to water your garden. Take your K-Bar and cut around the top
pour spout, then enlarge the hole a little bit. Leave the handle intact.
Beats paying $35 for one of them Martha Stewart cutesy-pie watering cans.
