Where DO you dump your leavings?  In Texas I filtered out the 
non-biodegradable junk and had the kids toss the mess far far away (we 
had three acres in pasture behind the house).  I don't have the three 
acres in Wisconsin - we've barely got a yard by Texas standards.  I've 
been sieving out the crap from the water and dumping the mess in the 
trash.  Can you compost that stuff?  Would you want to?
