Chives?

Gonna get me closed lol

Then JSP mods don't know what's ok and not. I see no buds/flowers whats illegal about hemp?

I don't expect a mod to know what they're talking about on these things, because I don't expect the average person to understand.

what do u mean? those are fine looking carrots sir!

Gonna dig out an old firepit in my yard tomorrow and start a compost heap.

Planning on just using a tarp and some rocks to keep a top on it.

compost needs a lot of air and water, might be better to just leave it open. all of my composting is literally just piles, I stack them about 3 feet cubed, then when they get to two or so feet high I flip them and add more material. if its 2 months before you get anything broken down correctly and completely a rich brown you've done something wrong. be it airflow, water, or not enough green material to rot and raise the temp high enough to break itself down. once it gets to be a rich brown it can be placed right onto plants to retain water in the soil and feed plants.

I'd love to just leave it uncovered but I have dogs who would absolutely dig into it for the scraps.

ive found that if u avoid meat in the pile they stay out, but in that case u may want to consider a vertical design using snow fence and fence posts. basically just 3-4' tall snow fence in a square with fence posts. cheap and effective, great airflow and easy to flip and track its sinking.
