My compost bucket gets almost as much liquid as it does solids. Cold coffee, veggie water, leftover juice, whatever...if I make pasta, that water goes into the compost bucket as well. My neighbor mows my front yard for me and dumps the clippings in a pile behind the driveway. I dig a hole in the grass clippings, add some wood chips from the huge pile of woodchips I'm slowly spreading around the yard, and dump the compost bucket into it. More woodchips, then cover it all with more grass clippings.

It's not as moist as it should be, but eventually it will all decompose. I'm not in a hurry.

I'm going to retire and live off of my savings. Not sure what I'll do that second week.
