My compost bin lid launched itself into a tree yesterday

Built up too much gas from wet grass clippings, I guess. Heard a loud pop and saw the plastic lid stuck 15 feet up in an oak branch. Anyone have a better system for balancing greens and browns?

Sounds like your compost is just trying to reach new heights. Maybe the tree wants in on the action.

Feel your pain. My pile did the same thing last year.

My compost did that once, so I keep a bag of shredded paper nearby.
