Default Do you compost?

Why don't you just tell the op that you're a smartass and don't know
anything?

We recently moved out in the country. Nothing to do but we had to
make a
compost pile. I admit, it's a handy place for garbage we would
usually put
in the can for a week. Yech!

Does it work? How much work is it? How often are you supposed to
turn it?
Do you keep it wet? Do you get enough compost to justify the work?

TIA

Just my opinion, but you're asking people to write a book for you,
instead of going to the library to GET a book first, and then asking
questions about what you've read.

I'm sorry. I must have missed the meeting where you were put in
charge.

FYI, I downloaded about ten pages on composting from Google. My
question was, "How does it work for YOU"? I'm sorry that you missed
the questions in my post and chose to comment on something else. Do
you have any comments on composting that you would like to share with
the group?

Steve

Actually, you asked "Does it work?". Of course it works.

Thank you. For future questions, what's the procedure? Do I e mail
you first and have you okay it. Or rewrite it? Then do you post it to
the newsgroup, or do I? I want soooooooo much to get it right.

Steve

You did it exactly right. Don't assume that my reaction will be anything
like those from other people. Wait and see. And, my reaction comes from
having teachers and parents who expected me to be resourceful. Others
may not have come from this kind of background.

I do have a question, though: How far is your public library?


From here, about 22 miles. But, I googled composting, and got lots of
information. I don't always believe what I read in google, and one gets
hits that make you wonder how in the world you get there from a simple
keyword. I just wanted to know some real live opinions rather than
someone who has a website with Adsense ads all over it, or someone who
wrote a book and is profiting somehow.

Limit the search to domains ending with .edu and that should cure your
fears. If you read info from ag schools and still have doubts, then other
issues are at work here.
