Come on. Why would anyone care about anything? Cos it's human nature. We should care, especially in messed up times like these. How else are things going to get better?

"Unless someone like you cares an awful lot, nothing's gonna get better, it's not."

Teachers should get paid way better so that people actually want the job. Otherwise we may as well leave the next generations education to big tech, and they have zero interest in anything but getting users hooked on content for their ad revenue, toxic or not... How messed up would that be?

ABC is a public broadcaster. They don't rely on ads. This should incentivize not using click bait headlines, yet here we are.

How did you go, what did you use the end product for? If you're concerned about smell and don't mind a bit of extra high tech and spending some money, there are products that dehydrate kitchen scraps and grind & bake them into a granulate, such as these: https://www.treehugger.com/best-compost-machines-5187060

Happy composting!

2x Bokashi bins in rotation, mostly for ground coffee from the Espresso percolator and various citrus peels. Takes around 1-2 months for it to be full, then swap the bins, empty the one that's been sitting there into a worm farm, clean it and put it back to use. I reckon the Bokashi breaks it down a bit, so the worms can process it better, together with general kitchen scraps and some browns. I'm also tinkering with adding crushed charcoal to the mix for the worms and black soldier fly larvae to inoculate it and essentially make biochar. Love mixing the vermicompost end product with different soils, create my own potting mix or use it as layer in a Hügelkultur, together with logs, branches, garden clippings (greens&browns) and cow manure.
