- Then the next obvious question is why anyone who is interested in
- composting would tolerate living in an area where this would be a
- problem. It's real simple, if you're unable to do it due to
- zoning/bylaws/etc. then change the rules. If you are unable to change
- the rules, decide if it's important enough to you to move.
