Doesn't a heap need tending to in some way?
I'm happy to put my food waste in a little box and have the government come round with a truck once per week, at the very least its rotting somewhere miles away from me.
I don't think i have the space or knowledge to do it myself
- chucksta 5y agoI'm not sure where you are located, but in Philadelphia there is a service, you sign up and they give you a bucket to put out for collection once a week. https://www.bennettcompost.com/weekly-composting https://www.bennettcompost.com/weekly-composting
- swarnie 5y agoI'm in the UK. No signing up here, you just put the correct boxes out on the correct day and some chap picks it up. Its slightly frustrating having six different bins and having to keep a schedule pinned to the fridge but it kinda works.

- maerF0x0 5y agoThat doesn't work well and it creates a lot of excess methane. See: How current landfills work
- amanaplanacanal 5y agoIt’s in a few inches of soil. I assume soil organisms, insects, and earthworms will take care of it.
