Hey, Im around pa and I don't know where to get straw. Can you tell me who to call for delivery?

[jcjenkins01]

@2012lavender local farmers or ask Agway

do you put screens over it to avoid flies?

[jcjenkins01]

The cover material blocks all flies.

seriously though, and be honest, does it really smell bad?? like, thoughout the house, or outside, or anythwere? i think thats what scares most people is the smell, not the work

[jcjenkins01]

No it does not.

Do I need to add anything for a 1 pint flusher to a compost bin on the outside of the house? Do I need a vent stack for drying or excess water drainage to a recycling bed?

It gets to -35 or so where I live but I can enclose the Bin so it stays active. Wife likes traditional water flush and this was my comprimise.

Beautiful winter landscape! Looks a lot like northern Michigan where I live. Do you get much lake effect snow there in Pennsylvania?
