I'm sorry, I didn't mean that you shouldn't talk about policy; it's just
that I have a hard time understanding that sort of stuff unless I can
relate it to local issues, examples, etc. :-)

Now, this I can relate to! I had (stress *HAD*) a compost pile for my
garden -- with lawn clippings, kitchen scraps, etc. My earthworms and my
garden loved it! Only we were told that the compost pile had to go
because you "cannot store garbage on the property." Try explain a compost
pile to someone who doesn't understand. It wasn't very pretty, but it was
very functional. My solution (and I hope it works!) is to build a good
size box and drill air holes in the side. Paint the box the color of our
shed. Line the inside with chicken wire, etc, transplant some earthworms,
and hope it works! We'll have to water it and stuff because we'll have to
have a lid on it. I hope that it blends in enough to look like a storage
bin, etc. We'll see. I haven't gotten to build it with all the school
work I've had as of late (14 credits).
Peace,
Mary
