So, these #rainbarrels are a bit pricey (apparently there are bulk discounts though). However, I own two of the terracotta-colored ones, and they have held up during #Maine weather (where it can be warm and rainy one day, freezing the next). Obviously, they should be drained and stored for the winter, but when that doesn't happen, the material seems to be forgiving (unlike the beige rainbarrels -- which are made from lighter plastic)...

This program is not just for #Mainers!

Well, I just emailed our Town Manager with information about discount #RainBarrel and #Composter programs. I know one of our neighbors (who is on the Selectboard) had mentioned how composters cut down on the amount of garbage, and how many folks have home gardens and could benefit from both rainbarrels and composters! Local #SolarPunk vibes!

Better Half Birthday coming up. Nothing says "I love you" like a composter, and bottles to keep the newly hulled rice bug-free.

"Bad news."

"What is it, doctor?"

"Your trashcan has a mental condition."

"Give it to me straight!"

"Your trashcan suffers from composter syndrome."

"That would explain the smell."

Last week I noticed this compost tumbler on the side of a busy highway, at the entrance to a strip mall parking lot. After seeing it sit there for four days untouched I finally decided it was free game and took the truck to pick it up.
It was empty, still spins just fine, and has very little rust.

No idea why it was there, but now it’s getting put to use making more soil for the garden.

New #introduction. I'm Andy, a sweary bloke from the UK. I work as a software engineer and ache for a simpler life and simpler times. I'm a fervent #MentalHealth advocate with lived experience of #depression and #anxiety, and work hard to keep the black dog to heel.

I'm politically #left, #progressive, #pagan, a #gardener, #composter, and a raging #environmentalist with a background in #PlantScience. Look after the soil. I also write and play #TTRPG games for fun.

Peace and love. ❤️
