I went and actually read the www page for the program I intend
to use. Figured it was a good idea. Turns out it's leaf compost.

The program that uses yard waste is quite a drive so I had
ruled it out.
Since it's leaf compost I think that rules out some of the
problems. Chemicals and disease could still be a problem. I'll quiz
them about the program when I call them.
I already compost everything I can but I just can't produce
enough to matter. Stuff keeps going into the composter but very little
ever comes out. I swear the thing is full most weeks but shrinks to
half full over night.
