Let me rephrase.. Alternative to food waste in general? Mine, the neighbors or super market?

Sorry Michael the different time zones we are all on might be the problem.
How about asking a school if they would like you to take their clippings etc when they nmow the ovals etc?

There was two minutes in between those posts. We're usually pretty quick, but not that quick.

Fruit and veg shops throw out more than you'll ever need. Or restaurants might have compost bins that they'll happily let you take. Or just ask family/friends to keep some for you.

Raiding Fruit and Vege shops has been very productive for my household, we get over 400L a weeks worth from 3 stores. So we go during opening hours..... Some we don't :twisted:

I find a lack of bodies to get rid of to be a very temporary problem, especially after my commute to work. On a more serous note. Needing more compostable material is a great excuse to clean the fridge. Don't forget the coffee grounds from your favorite coffee shop.

No doubt a special plank for this sort of thing on your BSF composter :D

Ron - keep your temper in check - the large prota-pod that the bio-pod people sell will only handle about a body a week....

Yea, but the large trough style BSF setups can handle many bodies. You would be amazed at how many doctors offices you can hide the left over skeletons in. Some doctors even enjoy joining all the joints themselves so that even saves a step.

Wood chippers are too obvious. A pile of bone fragments raises more eyebrows than an intact skeleton standing erect next to an anatomy poster.
