On the other hand, you can compost waste without informing 811.
Don't be wasteful!
Plant hybrid mulberry, hybrid poplar, sweet chestnuts or Eucalyptus nitens trees around the compost pile to ensure that nutrients do not leach into the ground-water.

I’m assuming (ahem) there may be a concern about small traces of lead or copper in the future compost. Understand the nutrients leaching, but are there options for greenery other than trees (roots!) that will be harder to clear later?

If you want more difficult to clear, Rubus armeniacus or Rosa multiflora are options.
DeleteIf you want less difficult to clear, Sorghum Sudangrass brown-midrib Hybrids might be what you are looking for. If you prefer perennials, then Miscanthus species or Panicum virgatum might be your huckleberry.
I have a borrow-pit in the woods I 'borrow' scoops of dirt from every once in a while. It's good to be prepared for any emergency!
ReplyDeleteTO be properly prepared, one needs a backhoe
DeleteThe issue with woodchippers is cleaning them.
ReplyDeleteYMMV
Do you have access to corn cobs? They are pretty good for cleaning goo off of equipment. Follow up with lots of water from the hose to wash off any fluids with salinity and you should be good-to-go.
DeleteProbably need a chlorine rinse, I have seen the inside of houses where someone died alone and nature took its course. Not pretty.
DeleteGotta give a shout-out for Steve Buscemi (aka Carl Showalter, mentioned above, from the movie, Fargo), is one of the best actors ever!
ReplyDeleteI have been involved in several cadaver dog searches, never been on a successful one.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, the powers brought in backhoes and dug numerous holes we then sifted because special beagle made a hit on the spot.
I suggest you go deep if buried and mix in numerous mammals if you compost.
I hear pigs are always hungry.
I've disposed of more than a few dead critters by recycling them through the pigs.
ReplyDeleteJust be careful you don't give your recyclers a disease doing it :-)
Grinding up the uneaten bones for calcium for your critters is good recycling.
Don't underestimate a good dog team, I've helped train some search dogs, and they are as good as the handlers. We use them in the White Mountains for lost and found work.
But I kind of doubt a field spread with pig manure smells like anybody you know :-)
I have a nice sinkhole on the property in case of emergency. I have also buried horses in one corner where a nice black walnut has sprouted.
