Batteries and empty spray-cans are okay to compost, right?

[Orrex]

If not, I'm going to have some very weird crops next season.

[Gormy Cuss]

1. They'll throw off the green-brown balance.

Add shredded tires to correct it.

[Orrex]

3. I have about five hundred pounds of styrofoam peanuts--will they work?

Because they're just filling up the basement at this point.

[Gormy Cuss]

5. Compost happens. n/t

[conscious evolution]

23. Peanuts are great for

retaining battery acid.
Sort of like vermiculite does for water.

[TZ]

2. I hope thats true...

I have an awful lot of used up batteries that I need to do something with..:evilgrin:

[Orrex]

4. If they're car batteries, just throw them in your neighbor's pool

That's what I do, at least.

[Pierre.Suave]

6. batteries and empty spray cans

are to be thrown in a fire. Trust me.

[Orrex]

7. Should I pry them open first?

[Pierre.Suave]

8. No

that will release all the toxins directly into your face, you don't want that, let the fire get them instead. Everyone knows that fire makes everything non-toxic and friendly.

9. As long as you use the correct 50/50 ratio of used motor oil,

it'll be fine. :)

[Radical Activist]

10. um

I'm going to hope this is a joke thread.

[Pierre.Suave]

13. ...

:rofl:

Do you need to ask?

[Radical Activist]

18. I get uneasy about these things.

I live in a town where people are still learning about the novel idea of recycling.

[Orrex]

16. Eco-friendly gardening is nothing to joke about

What the hell's your problem?

[arcadian]

11. They will break down... eventually.

Everything does.

[XemaSab]

12. They're fine for the compost, yes

For the burn pile, you better check yourself...

[AlCzervik]

14. those are also excellent things to put into the microwave and heat up for about 5 minutes.

it's fun for the whole family, you know what else is fun, watching someone overfill a turkey fryer and drop an un thawed turkey in, bonus if it's on a wooden deck.

[Pierre.Suave]

17. HAHA

Hilarity galore at your house...

[mitchum]

15. It's better to burn them in your fireplace

[Lucian]

19. Just make sure you top it off with mercury and used motor oil.

[petronius]

20. Only if the batteries are completely discharged

Otherwise, the electrical fluid leaks out into the soil. The earthworms evolve into electric eels, and that can be dangerous...

[conscious evolution]

24. If you add dayglo spray paint cans

The worms look really trippy at night with a blacklight.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

21. sure ,,,

You are trying to grow Robots, right?

[leeroysphitz]

22. Eventually...

[HopeHoops]

25. Man I hope that was a joke.

[Lil Missy]

26. Yes. It's better if you throw a lit match in there too.

[Dr. Strange]

27. I smell a SciFi Original movie!

[EastTennesseeDem]

28. Oh that's fine. I did the same thing about a year ago.

Here's a picture of my lawn now.
