Ive been looking for instructions online for a homemade compost bin, but ive only found actual instructions that use wooden pallets. which would work.. but not really what i had in mind. ive read about some people using buckets, or trash bins, but havnt found instructions for that. Also i need a better instructions of things to put in it.. i know you can put any kind of natural things in it.. like veggies and paper and grass and leaves.. but do you have to put certain amounts of each things? or will it all break down eventually. also how long before you get useable compost? like, if i start a pile now with leaves and our rabbits bedding (aspen chips) will it be useable by spring when i want to start my garden?

OK, I like a scented candle now and then, and I can understand using an air freshener if you have a cat or dog. But lately people are using WAY too much, and it's giving me a headache...wouldn't it be easier to keep your home clean instead of trying to cover up all those nasty smells?

20 degrees right now. I have a ton of dried leaves in the garage. There is snow on the ground, about an inch. Would it be worth starting or should I just hold off till it warms up?

I have a new 80,000 BTU high-efficiency furnace. It's working well, but I'm wondering if my cold air returns are big enough. There are two - one on the main floor dining room and one on the main floor front living room. The rooms are next to each other, and we keep the doors between them open at all times. Both returns have 12" by 13" vents. One vent narrows to a 9" diameter duct leading into the plenum, and the other to an oval shaped duct that enters the plenum with dimensions of about 13" by 8". The narrower duct is about 8 feet long, running from the dining room to the furnace, which is in the basement, and the the wider duct is about 4 feet long. The house has two stories, but despite the lack of cold air returns upstairs, the furnace is heating the whole house fairly consistently. My questions - do you think the intakes are large enough for optimal efficiency, and is there an easy way for me to roughly assess proper size without referring to Manual D or hiring someone?
