Why, you might ask? Because composting of any kind in spring or summer in any container at all will attract lots of black bears and that is not safe or healthy for either the bears or the humans.Peace Thymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361079101751470855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-84934418884095131342015-02-22T15:39:42.469-05:002015-02-22T15:39:42.469-05:00Are the birds still warming their feet on your fai...Are the birds still warming their feet on your fairy lights? <br /><br />Maybe part of the problem with the Swedish composter maker's assurances is a translation problem?<br /><br />I keep our house at 62 degrees during the day, and recently, we've needed no furnace to get there. Still snow-deprived out here in Portland, and still very much appreciating your snow photographs and comments.

They are may succumb to cats or raptors, but not to the cold.

After living in MN and CO, I found the cold miserable and the snow not so pretty. <br /><br />Southern Arizona has been experiencing above average temps the last few weeks. Quite warm today with windows open and perennial spring flowers blooming.

We're watching the snow fall across our lovely valley. Enduring one of the coldest winters on record here, our compost was frozen solid months ago. But the days grow longer and the seed packets have arrived, so all hope is not lost.

Here everything is damp, well, squishy, covered in weeds and dead leaves. I agree with you about misleading ads.
