Generally, I do not go out of my way to cook for chickens- its more the case if the oven is on already, or a pan is dropped into the solar oven for the day. <br /><br />Using cloth (or dryer lint) in worm bins comes from Laverme's Worms of Duluth. For demonstration purposes, she worm composted an intact pair of jeans. The worms ate away every cotton fiber and all that was left were fasteners, the zipper, seams, and any non-natural fibers. Again, she didn't do this as a suggestion for regular bin use, but for a cool demonstration of the power of worms. <br /><br />Your question about residual chemicals from clothing is worth thinking about. It's odd, the stuff we allow on our bodies. Our composting facilities here are generous with 2 extra large worm bins and 3 outdoor compost bins. The quantity of dryer lint (and it's residual chemical load) would be pretty dilute in the finished product. A household with a sole single and smaller bin may want to think that through differently. In my next update to the crib sheet, I will factor that in some way.<br /><br />Expanding your question even bigger to ask what to do with waste cloth from cities presents different options. Shall we landfill them? Shall we burn them and release the byproducts in the air? Maybe composting is the most regenerative solution for the natural fibers at least. The dilution of residuals would limit concentrated waste problems, much like waste ash from coal plants are metered into the gypsum to make wallboard.Steph H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00861695449465432247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998358342547728442.post-4551344257771611962010-01-05T16:17:14.478-06:002010-01-05T16:17:14.478-06:00Hi Steph, this is a great resource!

You clearly have some lucky birds - I don't think I've gone to the trouble of cooking anything for mine!:) I do question the use of dryer lint in compost or worm bins. Since so many of our clothing items are petroleum-based and treated with chemicals such as formaldehyde for wrinkle-free qualities, I would pause before incorporating the lint into compost. Have you seen anything about this?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003164250348736552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998358342547728442.post-84894496565043068832009-12-22T12:06:45.498-06:002009-12-22T12:06:45.498-06:00Just announced by the St. Anthony Park Community C...Just announced by the St. Anthony Park Community Council, that they have placed a collection box downstairs at the St. Anthony Park Library for recycling old lights!
