Will be interesting to see how this works out. I don't consider myself a real 'greenie' but we'll see if I can join 'ya.Shaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17702373234998884271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554671041186726858.post-89004988318263948572008-03-25T19:14:36.195-05:002008-03-25T19:14:36.195-05:00* you have to have several, dedicated garbage pails in which to stockpile your slop<BR/>* you have to have space (& resolve) to save the "brown" - the results of the fall clean up.<BR/>* you have to have a cold, or a nose-of-steel, to be able to process the stockpiles in the spring - actually, closer to summer by the time it all melts - (even if it is your S.O. who is doing the processing)<BR/>* you have to have a good relationship with your neighbours, to whom you will be apologizing for the olifactory offence!

As soon as spring hits, it all thaws and breaks down really fast. We won't be gardening during the winter anyway, so we don't need it to look like soil.<BR/><BR/>B) One word: Fembot<BR/><BR/>(That's my guess.

Even if my compost bin was accessible with all the snow, nothing's going to break down in this cold and it would fill up with frozen waste instead of with stuff that looks more like soil.<BR/><BR/>B) No way Roomie would leave you for a <B>silicone</B> babe, but for a <B>silicon</B> babe (e.g. a robot), I think the technology would have to be somewhat more advanced than the current state of the art! Archie Wood's Robbie the Robot has nothing on you! For fun maybe you can ask Roomie which fictional robot <I>would</I> be considered in your place... he's smart, he'll have a good answer!Albert Bannatynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01679417690640475683noreply@blogger.com
