The really strange thing is that the soil there is like rain forest soil. It is SO fertile I’m surprised the dead buried in it don’t come back to life.
The only reason to compost there aside from the fact the eco mafia charges a fortune for garbage disposal (literally, they shut all the local dumps down) is to ‘feel good’)
Three species that “compost” much better than a pile:
chickens, rabbits, and worms.
Probably, though, the first two are not allowed by code.
