COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

I have hundreds of vhs tapes to dispose of that belong to my nephew.
I really don't want to send them to landfill.

So I'm considering making a compost bin for a corner of my garden by threading the holes over bamboo sticks.
(Actually I probably have enough for a big shed!!)
Anyone with any experience of composting see any disadvantages to this idea?

Why doesn't this country invest in recycling facilities?

Hhmmmm, not sure about the plastic and tape slowly degading/leaching into the soil over a (long) time. That plastic might get very brittle too, and easily break, then u have small little pieces of plastic in your nice organic compost. Not sure if it’s a good idea. Too bad you are way over there... i have a brand new composting “kit” on Craigs List right now..

Thanks Mark a few things I hadn't thought of there.
I was looking for a use for the tapes more than a compost bin, but thanks anyway

Our Christmas tree starts looking like a spiral staircase the moment it's set up, and the bipeds step out of the room. The smaller felines get closer to the top. The heftier kitties don't usually go too high.

Happ Sunday All

Poured down a cold rain all day yesterday - so it was a good carving day. Today, however, the sun was up on time clearing blue skys = out on the water.

Very calm morning, spotted two Red-Tailed hawks, and a few Blue Herons, one Cormorant, and a few flocks of migrstory Canada geese.

Here’s one from this morning’s paddle - the Autumnsl colors are still playing nicely!

Much prettier there than in my part of Florida yesterday. It's been overcast and downright dreary outside.

It was very short lived. Poured all day long here, luckily not cold enough for sleet or snow. Just torrents of rain.

I'm confused. How do vhs tapes and composting go together?

Trust me you catch on sooner or later.

Not to worry. I saw Marks comment.

Good Tuesday Everyone.

More than an inch today already....the ground is fully saturated. Any rain now just floods and has no where to drain. We’ve had that much rain that it has actually decreased the salinity of the Chesapeake Bay which has impacted the growth/development of the Bay oyster population.

Looks like the records were all broken now

Can’t access the link from the EU because of GDPR, but I guess it hasn’t affected oysters in a positive way. And that’s awful!!!

No worries, it won’t belong before everyone starts punning in this room [emoji6][emoji23]

Pretty much what I said [emoji6][emoji6]

Daughter found some forgotten money in her pocket while she was at school. She threw it away. Me (gasping for air): “Why would you do that??” - “We’re not allowed to have money at school, mom!”
