Turn on every faucet in the house then wait.

Not necessary but potentially.

Why do faggot's always gotta flex?

I'm gonna think about using a van and going to a campground or RV sites. No need to do all that extra shit in Walmart parking lots. Could go to a campgroud say pay my $250 fee for a month stay. Basically make the camp ground my new landlord.

I'm a single 20 year old in a filled rental market in my area. I'm in the worst position to fight to get one with my credit and my societal position. No one wants to rent to some 20 year old bachelor party fag (even though I haven't been to a party since highschool) basically between the stereotypes singles men my age get and my credit, that got hit in unfortunate events I had no control over it's really tough to get rented to. I have tried dozens and dozens of times and it always goes to the couple with kids and a little better credit or to the couple with no kids but "need it more then me" due to their status.

I'd probably be armed during it all (with it in a safe)

I already have a gov job I'd consider it but only for a short time; from what I've heard, it can be hard to do that. It's like you become a slave and you don't get a choice. Am I right or wrong on that? Besides I don't need the military to straighten myself, I need to get away from my druggie roommates that have lead me down a life of despair and addiction. If the military is the only choice I'll do it but I rather no turn into a neocon warhawk drone.

It sounds lile the rigid is a good option if I cant find any used saw.

OP here I'm trans btw idk if it matters

That's a big ass slab coomposter bro

I'd prefer letting the water seep into soil than let it sit stagnant
But you do your thing

Height 600mm
That'll be 0.57m3

And boy it's hot again after turning.

Diameter 1095mm

My god
This is so overwhelming
Back breaking
Durh...
Maybe I'll only do it biannually

I see big thick white strands
Maybe some fungus fruiting body

>>1998505
Godspeed bro!

A curious case of fungal boom.

btw, I'll stop bumping this thread regularly because I'm feeling quite comfortable already with this leaf cage.
No more fear of overflow, no more issues of unpleasantries
Maybe I'll post some random observations here and there, or some sporadic thought on what I want to change.

If this thread goes out, maybe i'll go to /out/'s gardening general.

This is from my vague youtube-ing impression but,
bokashi seems like a thing with ongoing cost
none of the youtube shillers talks about cultivating your own Effective Microorganism, instead they just dig and dump the content, and start anew with another bag of inoculated grains.

Also, the whole premise of having bokashi going along a compost pile is to deal with the bones and meat that aren't "supposed" to go into a compost pile.
But I'm already doing that (throwing them into the pile), and so far I've not encounter significant pest/odor problem yet.

I think it's truly a pain working above clay for people all over the world.
Yellow stain follows your footwear all over the place on a wet day.
Hard as brick on a dry day.
But I've also heard that it's great for holding in water-soluble nutrients because water couldn't run through clay.

I'm picking the crumbly and chewed down (termite) stuff.
These stuff sits outdoor for years.

But my concern is that how can I tell if they're being chemically treated and harboring undesirable chemicals,
given that 1, I can't tell the source of these wood and
2, they've been broken apart and repurposed into different structures and now rotten down so much I can't see any signage on it.

This is called a "safety switch" on whatever dot com and cost 290 bucks. It rings out as closed position. Between spark box and fan/temp limit switch. Correction here. >>1994321 there are two terminals at the spark box, eack one with two wires. Plus the wire to the spark plug. So, one of the brown wires goes from spark box to "safety switch." I bypassed the safety switch to remove it from equation. Now the relay doesn't click. Can't figure that. I will put it back as it has continuity.

I can see the relay on the right arc when I plug the furnace into the wall. Has a halfass click sound. 880418.

>>1994837
That gives me the idea that I'm not there yet. I guess, If i see no voltage at the whatcha call >>1994321 this, the no spark is a symptom of an unknown and, not the actual problem. Maybe I can chase back from there. I was about out of good ideas and chomping at the bit to do something stupid. It's 1986.

My dad have lots of these rotten pellet wood

How can I determine whether this is ok for compost or not?

I'm also thinking of building a mechanical contraption to roll the bins.

And this 4 external wheel configuration seems reasonable enough for a diy project.

For all those pit-roast style stand, you'll have to make an axis strong enough to hold it up all time, the plastic wall of a rubbish bin might not stand up to long time sideway stress.

and this kind of config is just plain stupid, you'll need a tight and mechanically fastened lid to do a full revolution, not to mention the quirky center of mass and gravity for a hall full bin.

Now that I've vacated both bins into the pile.

I'm thinking of growing mushroom, but almost everywhere I look on internet, mushroom grower seems to go all out on their sterilization and climate control, seems quite daunting to me.
Not sure if there's any cheapshit way on making fine substrate and maintaining sufficient CO2 and moisture level.

I thought this>>1990785 would be forever cold
But seems like some of the bins' remnant I thrown in still doing something deep deep down there

Dayumn
Just after one big ass rain, and I've already almost filled up my cage from the community park's leaves.

This is well above my personal and manual chop chop chop capability.
I'm just throwing them in whole
Most of the leaves are 10x30 cm.
The pile is never going to get dry enough for me to crumble the leaves.
Gotta sharpen a stick and poke around in the pile from time to time.

Good news is that this pile is more than enough to conceal at least half year worth of kitchen trash.
Bad news is that this thing might sit there taking forever to break down.

I guess I'll have to steal the fresh green street grass cuttings next time.

Should've composted them grubs anaerobically.
Btw can their larvae dig down into regular soil after you apply the compost?
If their larvae is strong enough then shouldn't it be already infesting all around the place instead of hatching mostly on compost pile?
