Composting is a scam! It is a conspiracy! It is...

I can fill the bed of a truck with good compost for $24?!
I always mention my mom's raised gardens. Dirt in Arizona is garbage. Hardly anything desirable grows easily, even at 6,000 feet, where Mom lives. I think she bought dozens of bags of potting soil for one raised garden, but it still spread thin. I would happily spend twenty-four dollars to get a nice load of compost!
Now that I vacuumed up the leaves next to our very long sidewalk, some of the guys are trying to get me to plant stuff. I am thinking of filling the area with catnip and seeing if they complain if cats visit us!
There are places around here with cheap manure and compost. I just might go for it!
The recycling in the metropolitan Phoenix area has been no-sort for something like fifteen years, just one big blue bin. The problem is that people throw garbage in there, which people need to sort out, and people do not clean their recyclables, which would only be more difficult to clean later. In order to recycle from garbage, you would need to wash the recyclables that much more, which would be great for paper.
