Maybe the "Crust of Rust" series by Jon Gjengset? (Mobile is giving me a hard time, but search for that on YouTube)

While I don't have hands-on experience with such a cold climate, two things popped in my head. First, maybe you are better off with one big pile. More volume means the heap will be able to keep higher temperatures. The snow on the cover might actually be a very good insulator as well. Second, and this might be the number-nerd in me, but I'd actually track the temperature with a compost thermometer. I guess you won't be turning the pile often, and for sure not in winter when it's covered in snow, but that way you can keep track of what your pile is doing.

I hope someone has better, actual practical tips for you, but keep us updated on this one!

Perfect, there we go then! I guess we have an actual moderation team now!

Hey KeraKali!

I noticed in https://slrpnk.net/post/375281 that there was some miscommunication, this community is not one of those older inactive ones. However, if you still like to become a moderator for c/Composting, say the word! It's not a busy job so far, but it's always better to have multiple people anyway.

I like this, it shows there's always a design possible with whatever materials/scraps you have lying around. And don't forget the simplest design, if you have the space for it: just a pile on the ground.

For folks interested, we have a community dedicated to composting over at !composting@slrpnk.net Perhaps you would like to crosspost this over there as well.

This also very much depends on the climate you are in. If you get lots and lots of rain, you might a roof. If you hardly get any rain at all, you might want to cover up your pile/bin with a tarp or something alike. So yes moisture is definitely very important, but the specifics depend on your situation.

Could it be the language settings? Did you deselect 'Undetermined' in your profile perhaps?

I've only been on mastodon for a couple of days, but yes it is active, and depending on what you're after it might we worth it. For me, it seems to be a nice mix of keeping up to date with things and people I already know, and at the same time stumble upon (related) things I did not yet knew about.

You will have to put in some effort to follow people/accounts/hashtags, but that's kinda fun. Just try it out!

No way, I think my colleague mentioned this couple just the other day saying I 'd be interested in their stuff! Thanks for the link!

Dang this is some cool stuff, haven't seen the concept before. So you made that yourself?

Same, I did have to remove the older version installed via f-droid before installation of the apk from GitHub would succeed though. That was when I updated from 0.0.31 to 0.0.32. Updating to 0.0.33 then worked without uninstalling anything. Liking it so far!

Perhaps I'm missing something here but that headline is quite misleading, isn't it? The NY residents have to separate their green waste. The fact that that wasn't the case already surprised me, but, this sounds like a big win.
