When it comes to recycing and egg cartons, I think I may have you beat.
I've got 36 laying hens who produce far more eggs than our household of five
can consume. I've got a sign at the end of our drive advertising eggs for
sale at $1.00 a dozen but I discount them $.25 per dozen if the buyer
provides or exchanges a carton with me.
Cartons are hard to come by and expensive to buy new. Since we haven't
had to buy eggs at the market for quite a while, we don't get many of our
own. I've got friends and relatives all over saving cartons for me and, so
far, Ive managed to avoid running out.
As far as composting goes, we've got a hog run here on the property, but
no intention of keeping hogs. It's divided into two runs and has proved to
be the perfect place to dump the waste from the barn. Since last June,
however, the pile has gotten so large that we're going to have to rent,
borrow or buy a "Bobcat" to turn it this spring. Uff-da.
