Showerthought: my simple compost bin turned into a 3-month science project
I wanted to cut food waste, so I built a basic wooden bin in my Portland backyard last spring. The pile just sat there wet and cold for weeks, not breaking down at all. I spent over a month reading up, turning it, and balancing 'greens and browns' before it finally got hot. Has anyone else had a tiny climate action take way longer than you planned?

Yeah, getting the pile hot is a whole thing.

I used to think composting was just throwing scraps in a bin. Trying to get the pile hot taught me it's a real skill, didn't it? That little project definitely took over my weekends for a while.
