An Interesting Discovery?

Postby Thogey » Wed Jan 04, 2012 7:14 pm

We are having some unusually warm weather. So I thought I'd get some outside work done..after work.

I have to move a compost pile. The pile is about 6X6x6 feet and was confined in a crude plywood enclosure.

The pile is composed mostly of yard waste that I shred as a course of business. Anyway, the pile was not hot enough and partially dried out. So I am moving it and reactivating the compost in a different part of the yard.

As I pulled the dry, half composted material out with a pitch fork, I start to find shiny crisp and pristine green apples!

I put these apples in this compost this past JULY! They are still firm and crisp. They has been in this pile for almost 6 months.

I am amazed.
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

Bully! Now all we have to do is convince the women to stand in the compost pile chest high for six months and we can put the plastic surgeons out of business. :lol:
The real question is... did you taste one? :shock:
