Hopefully you can dig up an old face mask and a container of vapor-rub and occupy yourself thinking about anything that's not pasty, squishy, squicky or even worse. Think about ducklings, maybe. I Love Lucy. All the kinds of mushrooms you know. Maybe all together.

Ideally, there would be a warm stint so the ground/manure can dry up a little bit.

I put them in a shady place where nutrient leachate will be helpful or at least not disruptive.
I put a mess of chopped brush in the bottom.
Then I slowly make a digusting layer cake of poop, woodash and worms, with daily shoveling.
Ice builds up in winter, wading through snowbanks builds character
Once full I use window screen and the snap ring to cover.
Wait 0.5-1 y and I have a mass of odourless worm casings for shrubs etc,
along with seething masses of worms.
The barrels can be rolled to destination.
Passing through worms greatly lowers pathogens.
This all requires some room to work.

what kind of surface is it? hoping for something hard (concrete) that you can shovel and then hose? (ideally, sprinkle some sawdust over and then shovel....) gravel? (ugh)

Lack of purpose was a big shadow in my life that reared its ugly head last summer. Yet taking a step back and changing my perspective on a few things, I found I am more closer to my goals then I have ever been.
Reading, foraging and learning to play the fiddle have moved to the top of my to do list.
I stepped away from my corporate job, and now I am spending my days learning new skills and seeing what I can build, work, create at home. Trying to make some sense outta this madness lol
Not to get all sappy, but I am really thankful my fiancee told me about this website, it really did change my perspective on a WHOLE lotta things.
Cheers everyone!
