I'll start! My thread! LOL
Surprisingly,3 of my 4 siblings are also gardeners and all but 2 of us are composters.
DH's family has 1 other than us who do the gardening thing. The rest kinda roll their eyes as I do with their weirdneses!
HA!!! They'll see (taste) when I bring all my home grown herbs to do the TG dinner!
Dang! I wish my brussel sprouts were ready to go!

RE: TG composting!

Two pots of coffee worth of grounds (1 morning and 1 from meal dessert)
Probably 6 to 12 bags of leaves nicked from the neighbors' curbsides (hey that counts, it works up the appetite)
Salad scraps/trimmings "tolerantly" donated by the DW from salad prep (if I get them out in a reasonable amt of time): maybe 2/3 gallon from a large salad
Hmm, squash soup sounds good. 1/2 pound of rinds!

... and I predict 3 to 5 sneaky pee breaks! Hee hee!

I would love to compost TG dinner, but what I do not eat the pup gets.

jolj- Does the pup eat all of the potato scrapings, vege trimmings etc?

My pup does. She's a health nut.

I once composted (and not that long ago) my entire Thanksgiving turkey. After we had spent many hours together---her never browning, I was disgusted with the whole process, tossed the bird in the compost, and it was many years before I could think of turkey at all.
