compost
our compost pile grew for a while. but it seems to have stabilized at a certain size. which i think is kinda odd cause we keep adding stuff to it. and we don't really remove all that much. anywho. compost piles are kinda fun. it's a lot more fun to go throw some stuff on the compost pile than it is to take out a trash can full of garbage. i can recommend them. though you shouldn't put meat or dairy on the compost pile. and some other things don't decompose real well. like potatoes and corn cobs.
