This is such good stuff- thank you for writing and sharing.

I work seasonally at a big big store's garden center, and they're constantly sold out of tomato cages. The amount of times I've encouraged people to lash two sticks together is amusing; from personal experience, I almost felt as if I needed "permission" to do such a thing the first couple of times. Now I can't be stopped! Yard and garden are chock-full of stick trellises. :)

I thought I was a genius for making a compost bin with plastic fencing. But it droops over so I had to stake it down. Last year I just put my lawn clippings against a piece of pallet wood but wanted to be fancy this year.

One thing I learned from the composting subreddit is that if it is organic it will turn into compost eventually. All the other advice is about getting it there quicker or mitigating smell.
