Composting Hospital Food Waste
Comments (5)youll probably need to allow a few months before it's properly cooked with a few turns from bay to bay, but the pile will reduce quite a bit in size after a few turns aswell so you could set up a larger maturing bay where the piles get combined after they cool down and have reduced in size, that way you could free up the working bays sooner if it's an issue. keeping them in the shade will make turning easier (on whoever's turning them) and reduce the evaporation, but if they need to be in sun then youd want to cover them with plastic sheeting or something to help keep the moisture in. have a look at the soil and compost forum aswell Here is a link that might be useful: soil & compost forum...See MoreNeed Tips for not wasting food
Comments (24)cynic, I know people without families like this don't understand but it's really not my cooking ability. I've in fact won contests and cook very well. That may very well be the problem. My husband, for example doesn't like meatloaf, won't eat soup, stew or salads (all which I love to make and eat) anywhere (not just my versions). He generally doesn't like spices especially fresh stuff. He doesn't eat any vegetables (other than plain potatoes and corn) and only eats a few fruits. He mainly gets by on meat and bread and c&ap (sweets). He likes his filet mignon butterflied and cooked extremely well done until it looks like shoe leather...at a friend's house he turned up his nose at homemade whipped topping for strawberries because it wasn't cool whip. He prefers boxed food to anything homemade. It's kind of sad but it's hard to deal with when you like to cook. Your ideas are great but he won't eat the leftovers turned into anything because he just doesn't eat those type of foods. My oldest has eating habits similar to his. I'm not sure if he is a bad example or if it's genetic... but both would rather eat nothing than food they don't really like. They are both slim and don't really care for food in general. They don't care if they miss a meal. My oldest doesn't even like soda. I have come to the conclusion that hot dogs, frozen pizza and boxed mac and cheese are the foods that go over well but I don't want to cook that way for my family. I don't think it's healthy and I don't think it's cooking. By the way, my husband has never stopped off for food on the way home from work... he has dinner type meetings or he gets home late after we've all eaten so he can't eat with us. He's not avoiding "my" food. And my kids aren't going to people's houses to avoid my cooking. They are going there to play or spend the night and just aren't home for every meal. My oldest general won't eat much at other people's houses either. Many have mentioned it and usually have to resort to feeding him frozen stuff (pizza rolls, etc) or cereal, or he just doesn't eat....See MoreAnyone in Knoxville take household food waste for composting?
Comments (0)My boyfriend is living in Knoxville until November 2015. He throws his compost in the woods behind the place he's renting, but we both know that's not the best place for it. Anyone willing to add our extra compost onto your pile so you can use it for gardening? Or can someone at least point us in the correct direction? We just want to donate it so it will actually be used! Thanks!...See MoreFood Waste Disposer
Comments (1)We have a Sears Kenmore that seems to do what you describe. However, I believe it is an Insinkerator clone. It is built like a brick battleship. Cast stainless steel swivel hammers. When I get a clog it can't remove the plug because it usually plugs right near the trap, where there is a perforated plate that prevents unground stuff from going down the drain and plugging downstream. I have to disassemble the trap and clean the perforated plate. Your old disposer probably didn't have a pref. plate. None of my older models did, even the Insinkerator ones....See Moreharry757
