  • There has to be evidence of their process for me to accept it as evidence of understanding/ability. I have made it clear to them that this is necessary. Their job is to convince me that they know what they’re doing. (But… I’m teaching HS Mathematics). So … I’d mark it wrong/incomplete. I’m also working on student understanding of consequences of their actions, so wouldn’t give them another opportunity on that exam. They would need to improve things on the next exam.







  • Sure! First of all, our dog uses a tray, rather like a cat. We fill it with sawdust or coir (and sometimes planer shavings), and it soaks up the urine. We scoop off solids and put them into a barrel that I drilled a load of holes into for drainage/aeration. I have 3 sizes of container: a 20-litre bucket for collection, a 110-litre barrel and a 200-litre barrel, which I cycle the materials through as each gets filled. That makes turning easy, and gives me over a year to age everything. The compost then goes to fertilize fruit trees, so no direct contact with food sources.



  • Hey! I’m living in a row house in Taiwan. I’ve got various aerated barrels/buckets going, using guinea pig bedding for browns, and composting all our kitchen scraps and various vegetation from our rooftop gardens. In the garage I’ve got dog waste composting (with wood shavings/coconut coir), and I set up and am managing a park leaf/grass composting system across the street. I’ve killed off several batches of worms over the years, attract soldier flies and sometimes beetle larvae help process materials.
