OIC about the grains. Thanks. Yeah I threw some half eaten ears of corn out in the yard one time and several months later we had ears of corn growing in the yard! It was kind of fun.
I’m pretty sure they weren’t sending grass and tree limbs to China. It would be a whole lot more cost effective to burn them than to ship them overseas. I’m pretty sure they sent mostly plastic for recycling (but I will check.)
We compost to a certain extent by taking downed tree limbs to the city composting site. We don’t rake leaves and just let them compost back into the yard. Food stuffs just goes down the garbage disposal or I may just throw it out behind the garage where the trash is for the possums and whoever, so we aren’t sending any food to the land fill.
I also recycle as much as I possibly can.
