Re: Commercial Compost

People with only one arm do better with vermiculture. 

My mother has a bucket of worms in her small apartment and she is a vegetarian, so she has a lot of kitchen waste.

The worms are small redworms that can tolerate the higher temperatures and do an excellent job.  Easy to feed, quiet, don't need to be exercised and if you're short of food you can feed them newspaper. 

If you're really short of food I suppose you could fry up the worms.

As for cutting that much grass.  Have you thought about growing quality clover or somesuch and buying a pellet food extruder?  That sounds like a business to me.

Oak leaves should be formed into a low pile and allowed to sit over winter.  In the spring the acorns gathered with the leaves will germinate and produce lovely little seedlings.  It's a natural process I guess. Works well with nut trees too.
