Some people have butt-in-skie HOAs. I have one crabby neighbor and park management that give me a hard time even when I hide the heap where they can't see it.
I wish I was closer to residential neighborhoods where they put out bags of leaves in the fall.
I wish the fruit stand that let me collect from their dumpster had not gone out of business!
I wish I had learned earlier that a compost heap near a tree turns into tree roots, not compost.
I wish I had BELIEVED earlier that throwing weeds into a compost heap is a way of multiplying weed seeds.
