Name: Thomas Mitchell Central Ohio (Zone 6a) Composter
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I'm a firm believer that a compost pile is a pile that is connected to the ground though. I don't have a problem with anyone having a different opinion, but I just want soil organisms to be connected to the pile. Sure you could toss in a shovel full of dirt but not the same to me. I suppose there are some HOAs that require a 'pretty' piece of plastic, that will crack and break and end up in the landfill, to contain 'smelly' unsightly compost.
I spend a lot of time on reddit and I believe you're right about the entrepreneurs with no practical experience. Not just in gardening but other areas. I see so many polls on what would work better for this or that... and I think... they're trying to solve a problem that isn't a problem! Or they have no clue about T2 diabetes but they're wanting to make an app that they can sell to people by the questions that they ask.
