Well, my problems are piling up. At first, it was just that the videos were taking a long time to upload to YouTube. And when I say a long time, I mean hours. Then apparently YouTube had some issues with some batteries and they took a while to update the data, so we had to be patient (this seems to be fixed now. The battery issue, not the long upload times). Then the video camera stopped recording sound and worst of all, two days later it stopped recording video. I have an edited video ready to upload and enough footage to edit another one, but now YouTube isn’t uploading the video. I tried yesterday and today, and nothing. I sent a bug report and hope to be able to upload the next video soon. As for the camera, I’m crossing my fingers to have it fixed soon (and for free, as it’s still under warranty). If it takes too long, I’ll try to record something with my mobile phone, although the image quality will be much worse.
Anyway, at least I have something to keep me busy this week. Yesterday I received a gift, a load of pallets. I still don’t know what I’ll do with so many, but I’m sure some ideas for using pallets will come to mind. But I’ll use some to make a compost bin, or rather two (and since I’m in a hurry to make them, I’ll record it with my phone).
They won’t be as refined as the one in the picture, but they will serve their purpose, which is the important thing. The one in the picture (800 liters capacity) I made about six years ago. I didn’t treat the wood with any chemicals so the compost wouldn’t absorb any, but it’s still holding up. It’s starting to deteriorate now, but I think with a few repairs it will last another year or two. If you have a garden or an orchard, you should make one, or else buy a plastic one. Compost is the best fertilizer you can use for your garden or orchard. Everything will grow almost as big as this giant pumpkin :).
