# I’m so nerdy excited about this and I showed my friends and family…

I’m so nerdy excited about this and I showed my friends and family and no one gives a poo 😂😂😂

There was a 10 pack of buckets and I can’t decide if I should research more types of soil, make my own custom soil mixes, or use the remaining ones for some of my various outdoor bird feeder foods. I do have one small bag of carnivorous soil mix, but it’s not enough to waste a whole bucket on.

That’s amazing! You could grow edible mushrooms in the last one and the compost would be amazing for plants.

Oh, I hate mushrooms and I live alone, but I appreciate the suggestion 😂

My type A personality is loving this!

I love this but I would have to do bigger buckets because I buy da big bags to maximize laziness. You could make one with some peat, one with leca, one with crushed rocks of some sort (pumice, pon, whatever) and then leave the last one to do your actual soil mixing in?

Yeah I had my eye on some bigger ones for a long time but they were way more expensive so I caved when I was at the store lol
