No flies, and the scraps actually break down faster once they've gone through the freeze/thaw cycle. <BR/><BR/>I think Crunchy is saving her scraps for her community composting program, no?Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03908227916944431265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-57280926708159639742007-10-15T06:02:00.000-07:002007-10-15T06:02:00.000-07:00I guess I'm "with" the artist, because I don't und...I guess I'm "with" <I>the artist</I>, because I don't understand why your food scraps aren't being dumped on your compost pile, either. <BR/><BR/>???Oldnovicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17714134603537886606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-19913012243009137702007-10-14T23:38:00.000-07:002007-10-14T23:38:00.000-07:00Ooh!

I think someone actually told me to "get over it" when I made a comment about seeing all of their yard waste items in the trash!!
