Edge case submission
Here is my submission for the Ruth Stout Composting BB

I spread the 2 and 2/3 buckets of scraps in about 5 different spots and replaced the mulch that was already there from previous chop and drop. Found a paper towel in one that I removed because here we do not compost paper materials.

These are 3 gallon buckets. So with 2 full buckets and one about 2/3 full should be roughly 8 gallons altogether
