i have a backyard pile of cardboard boxes, tree branches, pulled up weeds covered with an agricultural tarp. every few months after the high natural pH of the local biome it all melts and become inhabited by worms and bugs, then i use it to make a new fun mound to my yard cosplaying as an iron age hill fort.

better than paying to give it to the waste management who do the same thing and then sell it to the city.

edit: two feet by seven feet big. away from the house near a green space.
