Showerthought: My neighbor in Phoenix called my compost setup 'pathetic'

He said my small bin was just baking in the sun and not breaking down right. I moved it to a shaded spot and started adding more browns, like shredded cardboard. Now it works way better and I'm keeping more food waste out of the landfill. Anyone else get a piece of advice that fixed a simple home project?

Glad you turned that criticism into a win.

My brother-in-law told me my first raised garden bed was just a glorified sandbox. He was right, the soil was way too dense. I mixed in a few bags of peat moss and some compost, and the next season my tomatoes actually grew.
