a lot of people I know who do this are actually non-gardeners (I would poison myself if I ate what I could grow with the air pollution at my house!), so the composting is just a disposal method, or a way for keeping food scraps (and glycerine that you would add to such a pile) out of the landfill. I've seen a few of biodieselers who had a 'dedicated' glycerine compost pile- it doesn't take much space. Neutralizing seems like a good idea, I almost wrote something to that effect in that post. By the time you do the neutralizing the glycerine, though, it seems like such a useful product it's a shame to waste it. Mark
