I choose...to be the best me I can be, to be the strongest me I can be, to learn the most I can. I don't know what comes next. But I'm gonna go into it balls to the walls, flames in my hair, and full speed ahead.

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)

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.

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

I don't know if "digusting" is a typo or intentional, but I love it -- a portmanteau of digesting and disgusting!

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.
