I use a rotary composting system, but the food scraps fill up quickly, so I bury them in the soil in my backyard.
It seems to take about 3 months to complete composting. I don't put all my food scraps in the garbage, so it fills up quickly, but other houses may not accumulate that much food scraps. I have peach, citrus, and other fruit trees at home, so I dig holes around them and bury them. The compost has a partition in the center, and there are two rooms, one for food scraps and the other for composting in progress, and it is rotated daily to circulate oxygen, but it generates flies, so now I bury it directly in the soil and let the worms break it down for fertilizer.

Thanks Sunshine ！ I knew it was worm ！ ！

I've been looking into this but we have limited space for a field and I was thinking it would be difficult to make a compost section in addition, but I just saw on Instagram I just found out on Instagram that Dollar Tree has a wire trash can that you can bury in the soil and put cardboard pieces and food scraps in it.

At least it doesn't cost much, so I'll give it a try ！

I see the rotary one has two layers ！ I still think burying it in the dirt might be better for me, since I don't want flies coming in.

I don't want to put it under the eaves because I have to keep it out of the rain after all, like cardboard composting 😓

Fortunately, we have worms in our small field, so I'll ask them to move out a bit from there.

I don't know why on instagram or youtube people post how they do it, but there is so little explanation of what to do and when to do it afterwards that it's hard for the layman to understand.

I have been thinking that it is a waste to throw away the banana peels and the outside of the cabbage (I always throw away 1-2 pieces) after my children eat them every day, but it is very hard to compost them.

I will look into it more ！.

Tough. I don't have the knowledge, but I'll ask if anyone I know knows of someone who does 💦 I hope you can solve this.

Nowadays, cell phones have a translation function, so you don't have to go to a Japanese place.

22404 Kathryn Ave, Torrance, California 90505

I googled Torrance address was the only one I could find.

Either way, some places don't list their phone numbers on their internet sites because of the risk.

If your English is not good, you can start by asking a friend or other person who speaks English to call "phone information".

＞ Main features of ADUs
＞ Complete independence: independent living, sleeping, cooking and sanitary facilities.
＞ Types:Can be a freestanding home (backyard cottage)}, a connected home (addition)}, or a remodeled space (basement/ ＞ garage conversion)}.
＞ Use ： as a family, caregiver, or rental home.

At any rate, if people are going to cook *do laundry* *stay overnight* in the space, the City of Los Angeles area has very strict city regulations and the law is that you cannot live in that shed unless it passes a city audit.

Near a friend's house about a 10 minute drive from mine in the City of LA, the resident there is a competent carpenter who built a cottage in his backyard and someone was living in the shed. But there was a mean-spirited resident in the neighborhood who tipped off the city that the shed was against city ordinances.

Then the city inspector came and said, "This shack has not passed the city audit," and we had to tear it down for crying out loud.

My neighbors also seem to keep their garage doors closed and use that space as a Living/Bed Room. I don't mind that at all.

ADUs don't have bathrooms ？ Then why did everyone say it was better to find an ADU to live in? But it was built without a permit, and she was told to leave within 2 weeks, so she rushed to move in and it was torn down immediately.

The reason they found out was because a city worker ？ who came to the house next door when they were renovating it found it. It was just a coincidence, but from my friend's point of view, it was a big surprise.

I still think it would have been nice to have a house in my backyard there. I don't know if it would have been better if I had had permission.

Just follow the city's instructions on sewage, electrical wiring, etc. There are plenty of guesthouses with bathrooms.

As far as I know, a city inspector is coming to inspect the property to make sure it is "as directed by the city" and "you are not allowed to sleep over until that inspection is completed". I have heard that "you are not allowed to sleep over until the inspection is completed". However, this information is very old and may have changed.

However, City of Los Angeles is very strict against illegal construction, so if you are planning to renovate your house in this area, please check the city website thoroughly.

My dog has been barking more since he became a senior.
I play relaxing music when I go out. Loudly scolding a dog when he barks is counterproductive. They think they are being cared for.
I recently purchased Pet Hemp oil for dogs and have been experimenting with it. It seems to be good for reducing excitement and relaxing them, as well as for appetite loss.
I think it might be worth a try to help senior dogs with their day/night cycle.
I think 100% organic products are better.
You can buy it on Amazon and other places.
I have only just started using it, but it seems to relax them somewhat.

Search Amazon for Anti barking dog collar or Citronella dog bark collar or something like that and you'll find a lot of stuff. If it is reported to the Humane Society, you will receive a letter and if the complein continues, you will be fined, or you can do something about it and ask the neighbors how they are doing these days ？ in a low and apologetic way to show that you are concerned and that it is effective.
I took a simple snack, gave them my phone number, and apologized to them to let me know if they were being too noisy, and it subsided.

It is an aging behavior and is not expected to improve.
If he is 11 years old, he is a senior and the only way is to consult a veterinarian.

He needs care just like humans do.
My dog was the same way as a senior, but there was no solution.
First the barking, then the wandering around the room, and on and on it goes.
So we had no choice but to make sure that the family members took turns to stay at home until his last day.
During those years, family trips were not possible, and we did not eat out.

Please take care of her until her last days.

There were quite a few complaints about my parents' dog in Japan, and he had surgery to remove his vocal cords, but the surgery failed and he was lost during the surgery.

Do you know what he is barking at? ？ You could try putting up curtains so he can't see outside as much as possible, or close the windows so he can't hear outside as much as possible. Do you have a crate or something that he can usually stay calm in? ？ It is also a good idea to have enrichment toys for him to play with while you are away from home.
Also, I recently found this relaxing music and started using it. My dog is sleeping calmly while I am away from home.
